Tinker Air Force Base Lift Station Elimination Area D

The Oklahoma City Water Utilities Trust is seeking a prequalified Wastewater Pipeline Contractor "C" for the Tinker Air Force Base Lift Station Elimination Area D project (TS-0006). The procurement involves eliminating two existing lift stations (SPUP-28 and SPUP-108) and replacing them with a new sanitary sewer system, which includes approximately 2,558 linear feet of television inspection, 2,158 linear feet of 8-inch PVC SDR-35 sanitary sewer pipe, multiple manholes, and service connections. Key deliverables include open cut pipe installation, jack and bore techniques, manhole rehabilitation, and comprehensive site restoration. The project requires electronic bid submission through BidNet, with sealed bids to be received and opened on June 11, 2025, at 10:00 a.m. A mandatory pre-bid conference is scheduled for May 27, 2025, at 2:00 p.m., with an optional site visit on May 29, 2025, at 1:00 p.m. Bidders must provide a 5% bid security and comply with the City of Oklahoma City's Standard Specifications for Construction of Public Improvements. The total project timeline is 250 calendar days from the work order date, with a required two-year maintenance bond at 100% of the contract amount.

The contract opportunity emphasizes small, local, and minority business participation, requiring contractors to submit a Local Business Utilization (LBU) Report/Subcontracting Plan within 14 days of the Notice to Proceed. Bidders must complete several mandatory legal documents, including a Business Relationship Affidavit and an Anti-Noncollusion Affidavit, which ensure transparency and prevent conflicts of interest. The project has specific environmental restrictions, including bird nesting season (April 1 - July 31) and bat protection periods (March 15 - November 15). While a specific budget range is not explicitly stated, the comprehensive nature of the infrastructure replacement suggests a substantial investment. The project will be awarded to the lowest and best responsible bidder, with the Oklahoma City Water Utilities Trust reserving the right to accept or reject any bids. Technical specifications include precise requirements for flow measurement devices, with the ADS Triton+ specified as the preferred manufacturer, and installation must be performed by an authorized manufacturer's representative.
