Round Hill - Airmont Water Storage Tank

The Town of Round Hill, located in Loudoun County, Virginia, is seeking bids for the construction of a new 500,000-gallon elevated water storage tank project. The procurement involves comprehensive site work, piping, and related appurtenances, with sealed bids due by 2:00 PM local time on June 18, 2024. Bidders are required to provide a bid bond, evidence of authority to do business in Virginia, and a valid Virginia contractor's license. The project allows for bidding on two tank styles: a composite tank or a spheroid tank, with the Town reserving the right to evaluate bids based on a life cycle assessment. A pre-bid conference was held on June 4, 2024, where project details were discussed, and potential contractors were provided an opportunity to ask questions. The contract requires substantial completion within 480 days and final completion within 540 days, with liquidated damages of $500 per day for late substantial completion and $250 per day for late final completion. Contractors must also coordinate with SCADA integration, utility providers, and obtain necessary permits.

The procurement opportunity does not include any specific set-aside designations or restrictions on organizational types, making it open to all qualified contractors. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are listed in the documentation. The project will require integration with existing water infrastructure in the Round Hill area, and Valley Automation will handle specific SCADA integration elements. The Town has approximately $5 million budgeted for the project, with the contract to be awarded based on an evaluated bid analysis. Bidders are expected to provide comprehensive pricing that includes all necessary site work, tank construction, piping, and appurtenances. Technical requirements include specific SCADA integration, foundation design, tank coating specifications, and adherence to local and state regulations. The Town intends to award the contract as soon as practical, likely in July or August 2024, with the successful bidder responsible for delivering a fully functional water storage facility that meets the county's infrastructure needs.
