RFQ 2023-36 Willamette Pump Station - Pump Install

Clackamas County, Oregon, has issued a Request for Quotation (RFQ 2023-36) for the Willamette Pump Station Pump Install project, seeking a contractor to install a new owner-procured Flygt pump at the Willamette Pump Station located at 1004 4th Street in West Linn. The primary objectives of this procurement are to add redundancy, increase reliability, and limit maintenance issues with the existing older Cornell pump. The RFQ requires the selected vendor to perform a complete pump installation, with the project focused on enhancing the operational efficiency of the municipal water infrastructure. The solicitation was posted on April 14, 2023, with a submission deadline of April 27, 2023, at 2:00 PM PT. Three vendors submitted bids: Cascade Water Works, Copper Mechanical, and R.L. Reimers, with R.L. Reimers emerging as the apparent low bidder at $92,475.00.

No specific set-aside designations or restrictions on vendor participation were explicitly mentioned in the procurement documents. The RFQ does not provide details about disadvantaged enterprise requirements or specific qualifications beyond the basic bid submission. The project appears to be a straightforward municipal infrastructure improvement with a defined scope of replacing an existing pump to enhance station performance. While the exact budget range is not comprehensively detailed, the apparent low bid of $92,475.00 provides an indication of the project's potential value. The procurement documents suggest this is a direct replacement project with the county providing the Flygt pump, and the selected contractor will be responsible for the installation and integration with the existing Willamette Pump Station infrastructure.
