RFQ - Maintenance and Repair of Drinking Water System for Public Works Facility

Marion County Public Works Department issued Request for Quotes (RFQ) #PW1161-22 for a three-year service agreement to perform as-needed maintenance and repairs for the Public Works Facility drinking water system. The procurement seeks water operator services including emergency and routine maintenance, repairs, and parts acquisition. Specific requirements include performing maintenance on confined spaces such as potable water supply vaults, storage tanks, well head vaults, and septic tanks, with strict safety protocols for confined space entry. Vendors must attend a mandatory pre-offer conference on August 29, 2022, and submit quotes by 5:00 PM PST on September 7, 2022. Evaluation criteria include price and ability to meet county requirements, with the county reserving the right to enter into contracts with multiple vendors. Contractors must demonstrate capability to perform water system maintenance, follow confined space safety procedures, and provide appropriate personnel and equipment. The county will hold pricing firm for three years, with potential contract extension up to five years depending on funding availability.

No specific set-aside designations or restrictions on respondent types were explicitly stated in the documents. The procurement was ultimately awarded to Cascade Water Works, LLC, with a total estimated price of $11,200.00. The contract includes hourly rates for a Supervisor/Crew Lead, Operator, General Laborer, and Service Truck. The maintenance will be performed at the Marion County Public Works Facility, which includes infrastructure for drinking water systems with multiple confined spaces requiring specialized maintenance. While no incumbent vendor information was provided beyond the current award, the county demonstrated flexibility in potentially contracting with multiple vendors. The scope of work suggests a comprehensive maintenance approach for the facility's drinking water infrastructure, with an emphasis on safety, operational reliability, and responsive service delivery.
