Readvertisement-Lewisville Lift Station Upgrades

The City of Winston-Salem / Forsyth County Utilities is seeking sealed bids for the Lewisville Lift Station Upgrades project (FB25312), a comprehensive infrastructure improvement initiative. This is a re-advertisement following an initial February 1, 2024 solicitation that did not receive sufficient bids, with the current bid submission deadline set for July 23, 2025, at 2:00 PM. The project scope involves complete demolition of an existing lift station and installation of a new facility, including all related construction work. Bidders must be properly licensed as general/prime contractors under North Carolina General Statutes Chapter 87 and must submit a bid bond at the time of bid opening. Technical questions about the project must be submitted in writing to Olivia Kerss at olk@freese.com, with the second question period closing on July 11, 2025, at 5:00 PM. The bid documents can be obtained by emailing catherinek@cityofws.org, and bids will be publicly opened and read aloud in Conference Room 16 at 101 N. Main Street, Winston-Salem, NC.

The procurement includes specific Minority and Women Business Enterprise (M/WBE) requirements, with mandatory subcontracting goals of 6% Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) and 5% Women Business Enterprise (WBE). The project will require performance and payment bonds from the awarded contractor, and the solicitation allows for consideration of proposals even if only one valid bid is received. While no specific budget range is detailed in the documentation, the comprehensive nature of the lift station upgrades suggests a significant infrastructure investment. The project is located in Forsyth County, North Carolina, and is designed to improve municipal utility infrastructure. Interested contractors must demonstrate compliance with local and state licensing requirements, participate in the specified M/WBE guidelines, and be prepared to provide the necessary bonding and documentation to be considered for the project.
