Site stabilization Project (2022-NWR-24PC)

The Virginia Department of Health (VDH) is soliciting bids for a site stabilization project located at 8249 Eggbornsville Road in Rixeyville, Culpeper County, Virginia. The project requires a contractor to stabilize a recently repaired drainfield site to prevent erosion and settling around newly installed absorption trenches. Specific work elements include using tracked equipment suitable for working over drainfield trenches, adding clean topsoil, grading the site, and applying seed and straw. Contractors must follow all erosion and sediment control regulations, properly dispose of construction debris, and possess a valid Virginia Class C Contractors License. The project appears to be funded through a VDH SWAP Grant program, with optional site visits available upon request. Bidders must submit a cost breakdown for the primary work (line item 1) and separate pricing for any additional services. The bid response deadline is January 30, 2025, with selected bidders required to provide a signed Notice to Proceed within 3 business days of notification.

The procurement opportunity includes set-aside preferences for Disadvantaged, Small, and Micro Businesses certified by the Department of Small Business and Supplier Diversity (DSBSD). Specifically, DSBSD-certified micro businesses will be preferred for bids up to $10,000, and DSBSD-certified small businesses will be preferred for bids up to $100,000, provided the agency determines the bid prices are fair and reasonable. If these criteria are not met, the award will go to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder of any size. The contract requires participation in the eVA Internet e-procurement solution, and contractors must provide electronic catalogs for awarded items. Contractors will be required to maintain project records for five years after final payment and submit completion documentation including invoices and site photos to VDH_SWAP_Grant@vdh.virginia.gov. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly stated, the project appears to be a relatively small-scale site stabilization effort focused on post-construction land restoration and erosion control.
