Small Diameter Water and Sanitary Sewer Rehabilitation and Replacement A&E

The Oklahoma City Water Utilities Trust (OCWUT) is soliciting Letters of Interest from engineering firms for a Small Diameter Water and Sanitary Sewer Rehabilitation and Replacement project in the Northeast Region of Oklahoma City. The procurement seeks multiple engineering firms to provide as-needed professional consulting services for water and sewer system improvements. The project involves rehabilitating and/or replacing approximately 30,000 to 40,000 linear feet of pressurized water mains and 5,000 to 15,000 linear feet of sanitary sewer pipeline, focusing on 12-inch diameter or smaller pipelines in residential and light commercial areas. Interested firms must submit a detailed Letter of Interest addressing similar project experience, project team availability, and other specified requirements through the electronic bidding system at https://www.bidnetdirect.com/ by 5:00 p.m. on September 17, 2025. Respondents will need to demonstrate expertise in infrastructure rehabilitation, particularly for pipelines that may be over 120 years old and composed of various materials. Evaluation will likely focus on the firm's previous experience, technical approach, and team qualifications. The contract term is one year with an option to renew for an additional year, with all assigned services to be completed within one year of the work order date.

No specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises were explicitly mentioned in the provided documents. The project is open to professional engineering firms capable of handling complex infrastructure rehabilitation work. The estimated total project construction cost is $10,000,000 per contract per year, with the potential for multiple firms to be selected. Upon executing a non-disclosure agreement, additional project information such as as-built drawings and record drawings will be made available for review. The project area covers approximately 1,130 miles of pressurized water mains and 830 miles of sanitary sewer pipeline, bounded by Interstate 40/I-40 crosstown to the south and Interstate 44/Lake Hefner Parkway/State Highway 74 to the west. Funding for the project will come from OCWUT ratepayer funds, and the City reserves the right to negotiate the Scope of Work, Compensation, and Additional Services. All submissions are subject to the Oklahoma Open Records Act, with specific guidelines provided for maintaining confidentiality of sensitive information.
