R1 Parks Vault Pumping

Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks is conducting a procurement for vault pumping services at multiple state parks including West Flathead Lake, Big Arm, Lake Mary Ronan, Lone Pine, and Les Mason State Parks. The solicitation was posted on May 19, 2020, with proposals due by June 18, 2020, representing a one-month bidding window. The primary objective is to secure a contractor capable of providing comprehensive vault pumping services across these specified state park locations. While specific technical requirements are not detailed in the provided documents, the procurement appears to focus on maintenance and sanitation services for park facilities. The solicitation is being managed through the Montana Acquisition & Contracting System (MACS) and leverages Sourcewell's cooperative purchasing platform, which allows vendors to access and respond to the opportunity through their online portal. Potential bidders are required to create an account on the Sourcewell Procurement Portal to download bid documents and participate in the solicitation process.

The procurement does not explicitly indicate specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged business enterprises based on the available documentation. The solicitation appears open to qualified vendors with appropriate vault pumping capabilities and equipment. No specific incumbent vendors or current contractors are mentioned in the provided materials. While budget ranges or estimated contract values are not disclosed, the multi-park scope suggests a potentially substantial service contract. The procurement is structured as a cooperative purchasing opportunity, which means the State of Montana may utilize the resulting master contract for ongoing vault pumping services. Vendors interested in responding must communicate directly with Sourcewell and follow their prescribed submission protocols. The primary contact for procurement-related questions is Amanda Henrich, a Contracts Officer reachable at (406) 444-2516 or Amanda.henrich@mt.gov, who can provide additional details about the solicitation requirements.
