Solid Waste Operations Center Improvement

The Oklahoma City Water Utilities Trust (OCWUT) is seeking bids for the Solid Waste Operations Center Improvements project (SW-0234-1), located at 11501 N Portland Avenue in Oklahoma City. This procurement is specifically for a comprehensive infrastructure and facility upgrade project involving multiple buildings and site improvements. Prequalified Building Contractor "B" firms are eligible to bid on the project, which includes installing new aluminum ramps and stairs, replacing 1,640 linear feet of chain-link security fence, resurfacing parking lots with 142 main and 7 accessible parking spaces, and performing extensive building renovations across Buildings A through G. The project requires a mandatory pre-bid conference on April 17, 2025, with sealed electronic bids due by 10:00 AM on April 30, 2025. Key deliverables include a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) compliant with Oklahoma Pollution Discharge Elimination System (OPDES) regulations, and the project is scheduled for completion within 225 calendar days from the work order date.

The procurement includes specific requirements for small, local, and minority business participation, with contractors mandated to submit a Local Business Utilization (LBU) Report within 14 days of the Notice to Proceed. Bidders must provide a bid security of 5% of the total bid amount and submit several key documents, including an Anti-Noncollusion Affidavit and a Business Relationship Affidavit to ensure ethical bidding practices. While no specific set-aside percentages or incumbent vendors are explicitly mentioned, the project emphasizes local business involvement and transparency. Contractors must also provide a two-year maintenance bond covering 100% of the contract amount, performance and statutory bonds, certificates of insurance, and non-discrimination certifications. Although an exact budget is not specified, the comprehensive nature of the improvements—which include civil, architectural, mechanical, electrical, and plumbing work across a 0.90-acre site with a 1.80-acre disturbance area—suggests a significant capital investment for the Oklahoma City Water Utilities Trust.
