Pump Services for Water Wells in Mosier, OR

The Wasco County Soil and Water Conservation District (SWCD) has issued a Request for Quote (RFQ) seeking procurement of pump services for three new water wells located in Mosier, Oregon. The project involves the purchase, delivery, and installation of pumps for Wells 13, 32, and 79, which will be used for irrigation and domestic purposes. Potential contractors must provide comprehensive pump components and accessories appropriately sized for each specific well, with careful attention to technical specifications detailed in the project documentation. Offers must be submitted by 2:00 PM Pacific Time on September 18, 2024, with pricing to remain firm for 90 days following submission. The SWCD will evaluate responses based on multiple criteria, including price, contractor responsibility, availability, and ability to timely restore water sources to participating well owners. Critically, all bidding contractors must be registered and active in SAM.gov at the time of award, and must comply with federal requirements associated with American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funding.

The contract opportunity does not explicitly specify set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Contractors must adhere to various federal compliance requirements, including provisions for equal opportunity, the Copeland Act, debarment and suspension regulations, and procurement of recovered materials. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly stated, the project is funded through ARPA resources, suggesting potential flexibility in funding. The SWCD reserves the right to accept any offer or portion thereof, or to reject all offers, providing additional procurement flexibility. Contractors will need to demonstrate technical capability to install pumps meeting precise well-specific requirements, with an emphasis on technical proficiency and timely project completion. The procurement process indicates a comprehensive approach to restoring and maintaining critical water infrastructure in the Mosier area, with a focus on technical competence and operational effectiveness.
