SWTC Trench Drain

The state of Wisconsin, specifically Grant County, is seeking a contractor for the SWTC Trench Drain project, a construction procurement opportunity posted on July 21, 2025, with proposals due by August 8, 2025. The primary scope involves installing approximately 60 linear feet of trench drainage infrastructure within an existing concrete slab, requiring comprehensive site modification and precise engineering execution. Contractors must perform sawcutting, concrete removal, excavation, base preparation, and install a 10-inch wide trench drain system complete with grates, frames, and anchors. Critical technical requirements include maintaining appropriate drainage slopes, connecting discharge lines to daylight into adjacent lawn areas, and restoring the concrete slab's structural integrity post-installation. Contractors will be responsible for comprehensive site preparation, elevation verification, existing drainage pattern preservation, and mandatory utility locates prior to excavation. The project demands technical precision, with explicit expectations for site cleanliness, safety, and functional restoration upon project completion.

No specific set-aside designations or enterprise restrictions were explicitly mentioned in the contract documentation. The procurement appears open to qualified contractors with demonstrated capabilities in drainage infrastructure installation and concrete restoration. While no incumbent vendor information was provided, the project suggests a relatively modest scope that would be suitable for small to mid-sized construction or specialized drainage contractors. The absence of a stated budget range indicates potential flexibility in pricing, likely dependent on detailed contractor proposals and specific site conditions. Interested contractors should carefully review the comprehensive scope of work, noting the technical complexity requires precise measurement, drainage engineering knowledge, and the ability to integrate new drainage infrastructure seamlessly with existing site conditions. Successful bidders will need to demonstrate technical competence, site management skills, and the capacity to execute a precise, minimally invasive infrastructure modification.
