The Charles County Board of Commissioners is soliciting sealed bids for the Pomonkey Pump Station Improvements project, located at 3567 Livingston Road in Indian Head, Maryland. The comprehensive construction project requires a qualified contractor to demolish the existing below-grade pump station and construct a new facility with extensive infrastructure upgrades. Key deliverables include installing a new wet well, process mechanical piping, equipment and valve enclosure, conducting civil site work, implementing temporary bypass pumping, performing electrical work, and integrating instrumentation systems. The project has a total duration of 547 consecutive calendar days from the Notice to Proceed, with bidders required to submit a 5% bid bond. A mandatory pre-bid meeting and site visit are scheduled for April 9, 2025, with potential bidders required to register in advance. The bid response deadline is April 29, 2025, at 2:00 pm, with electronic submissions required through the county's eProcurement Portal. The contract will be awarded to the lowest responsive, responsible bidder based on the sum of base bid items plus contingency items, with base bid components including mobilization, erosion and sediment control, demolition, pump station installation, and site restoration. The project includes a Minority Women Business Enterprise (MWBE) program with an aspirational participation goal of 25%. Contractors must comply with prevailing wage requirements for construction work exceeding $500,000 and maintain specific insurance coverages, including commercial automobile, workers' compensation, general liability, and builder's risk insurance with defined coverage limits. The contract will require comprehensive documentation, including contractor's affidavits, release and waiver of lien forms, maintenance bonds, and guarantee documents to ensure project completion and quality assurance. While specific contract value details are not explicitly stated, the comprehensive technical specifications and extensive infrastructure work suggest a significant capital investment. The project involves advanced technologies such as programmable logic controllers (PLCs), SCADA systems, radar level transmitters, electromagnetic flow meters, and redundant power supply systems, indicating a sophisticated and technologically modern infrastructure upgrade. Potential bidders must demonstrate technical expertise in municipal pump station construction, system integration, and compliance with Charles County's rigorous technical and administrative requirements.
