PWC Wingfoot Immediate Restroom Repair

The Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) is seeking a contractor to perform immediate sewer line repair at the Wingfoot Lake State Park's Pinetree Restroom facility in Summit County. The project involves replacing approximately 80 linear feet of existing cast iron plumbing that has exceeded its 50-year lifespan, including new stub-outs to urinals and toilets, which will connect to existing tile lines. The primary objective is to address ongoing facility closures caused by chronic sewer line clogging and back-pitched drains, requiring a comprehensive repair solution that includes all necessary materials, fittings, and labor. Bidders are encouraged to conduct a site visit prior to submission and may be required to provide proof of two similar completed projects. The Request for Quotation (RFQ) indicates that the lowest responsive and responsible bidder will be awarded the contract, with potential for a pre-award meeting with DNR staff. The proposal is due by July 14, 2025, with the project contact being Mike Studeny, reachable at 330-402-6907, and the delivery address set at 993 Goodyear Park Blvd., Mogadore, OH 44260.

This procurement is designated as a Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) set-aside in accordance with Ohio Revised Code 125.081, which means only qualifying minority-owned businesses can respond to the solicitation. The contract will be valid through June 30, 2026, with invoicing to be submitted directly to Financial Shared Services and requiring specific documentation including a purchase order number and detailed service description. While a specific budget range is not explicitly stated, the contract will be awarded based on a low lot total calculation that includes shipping costs. Contractors must comply with extensive state requirements, including maintaining proper insurance coverage (general liability, automobile liability, workers' compensation, and cyber liability), adhering to confidentiality provisions, and following state and federal regulations. Additionally, contractors must complete an Affirmation & Disclosure Form verifying that all services and data handling will occur within the United States, and they must obtain an OH|ID for system access through OhioBuys, the state's procurement platform.
