Sodium Hypochlorite Storage Tank Lining and Flange Repairs

The City of Yuma, Arizona, located in Yuma County, is seeking bids for a sodium hypochlorite storage tank relining and flange repair project through Request for Bid RFB-26-154. The procurement involves comprehensive repair and relining services for two municipal water facilities: the Agua Viva Water Treatment Plant and the Figueroa Water Pollution Control Facility. Specific deliverables include relining a 6,500-gallon fiberglass storage tank at Agua Viva, which involves repairing floors, walls, manways, flanges, and sealing leaks, as well as repairing or replacing a connection and flange on a sodium hypochlorite tank at the Figueroa facility. Bidders must have a minimum of three years of commercial tank lining and repair experience within the last five years and possess all required Arizona state licensing and permits. A mandatory pre-bid meeting was previously held to allow vendors to inspect both facilities, with the public bid opening scheduled for November 3, 2025, at 11:10 AM MST via Microsoft Teams. Bid submissions must be completed through the City's Bonfire Procurement Portal, with responses remaining valid for 90 days following the bid opening date.

The contract does not specify explicit set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Bidders are required to comply with E-Verify requirements, prohibitions on boycotts of Israel, and restrictions on forced labor, along with maintaining specific insurance coverage, including $2,000,000 in Commercial General Liability and $1,000,000 in Business Automobile Liability. The successful contractor will be required to provide a one-year warranty from the date of final City inspection, with all warranty-related repairs at the bidder's expense. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the comprehensive nature of the tank relining and repair work suggests a substantial project scope. The City reserves the right to award the contract to multiple companies and will evaluate bids based on lowest responsible and responsive bidder criteria, considering factors such as quality, delivery time, past performance, and operational compatibility. All work must adhere to applicable OSHA and EPA regulations, with contractors responsible for maintaining safe work areas and properly managing equipment and site cleanup.
