About this opportunity

Dorchester County is seeking qualified firms to submit bids for the Stratton Capers 2 Water Line Upgrade - Phase 1 project, a Community Development Block Grant (CDBG #4-CI-24-004) funded infrastructure improvement initiative. The project involves installing approximately 4,725 linear feet of 8-inch water main, including eight fire hydrants, twenty-six 8-inch gate valves, and ninety service reconnections across multiple streets in the county. Bidders must be registered in the federal System for Award Management (SAM) and comply with comprehensive technical specifications for water distribution system materials and construction procedures. The bid documents outline a substantial completion timeline of 120 calendar days from the Notice to Proceed, with key dates including a non-mandatory pre-bid meeting on August 5, 2025, at 10:00 am, the last day for questions on August 15, 2025, at 5:00 pm, and the bid opening on August 26, 2025, at 2:00 pm. The county will evaluate bids based on the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, with the potential to make multiple awards depending on contractor capacity.

The procurement includes specific requirements for disadvantaged business participation, mandating positive efforts to utilize small and minority-owned businesses, women's business enterprises, and labor surplus area firms. Contractors must adhere to federal regulations including Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, Davis-Bacon Act, Build America, Buy America Act, and Executive Order 11246, which requires contractors to take affirmative action for equal employment opportunities. Performance and payment bonds will be required at 100% of the total contract amount, and all materials must be manufactured in the United States. While a specific budget range is not explicitly stated, the project is partially funded through a Community Development Block Grant, with separate pricing for CDBG-funded and Dorchester County-funded items. Contractors must maintain detailed project records for a minimum of five years after project completion and are subject to potential audits by HUD, the State, or the Grantee. The project is designed to upgrade water infrastructure in the Stratton Capers development area, with this solicitation focusing on Phase 1 of the improvements.
