Request for Bids

The Pepper's Ferry Regional Wastewater Treatment Authority (PFRWTA) is soliciting bids for Request for Bids (RFB2024-01), a specialized electrical infrastructure project spanning Roanoke County and Richmond City, Virginia. The procurement involves three primary deliverables: furnishing and installing a new below-grade electrical ductbank connecting a yard electrical manhole to the Solids Handling Building, installing conduit to the MCC-6 B-Side Feeder inside the Solids Handling Building, and furnishing and installing electrical wire from the SWGR-MAIN through new and existing ductbank, ultimately connecting to the MCC-6 B-Side Feeder. The project requires precise electrical engineering and installation capabilities, with contractors needing demonstrated expertise in industrial wastewater treatment facility electrical infrastructure. Technical specifications detail exact requirements for concrete encasement, conduit routing, and cabling installation. The bid is scheduled to be open from August 5, 2024, with responses due by September 4, 2024, providing potential bidders approximately 30 days to prepare comprehensive proposals.

While the documentation does not explicitly outline set-aside designations or specific vendor restrictions, the technical complexity suggests the project is targeted at electrical contractors with specialized industrial infrastructure experience. No incumbent vendor information is provided, and the documents do not specify precise budget ranges or award values. The project appears to involve upgrading existing electrical infrastructure at the Pepper's Ferry Regional Wastewater Treatment Facility, indicating potential integration requirements with current electrical systems. The technical specifications suggest a need for precise, professional-grade electrical work that meets municipal infrastructure standards. Prospective bidders will likely need to demonstrate significant technical capabilities, appropriate licensing, and experience with complex electrical infrastructure projects in municipal utility settings.
