Water Treatment Plant Miscellaneous Improvements - Rebid

The City of Round Rock, Texas is seeking competitive sealed proposals for the Water Treatment Plant Miscellaneous Improvements Project, a comprehensive rebid opportunity spanning multiple jurisdictions including Williamson County and San Antonio City. The project involves extensive demolition and construction activities at the water treatment facility, specifically targeting chemical feed systems, piping infrastructure, and electrical components. Key deliverables include replacing alum and polymer feed piping, constructing new day tanks, installing an electric generator, upgrading transfer switches, and replacing filter media and associated instrumentation. The procurement process requires bidders to participate in a mandatory pre-proposal conference and site visit on November 18, 2025, at 2:00 p.m. at the Round Rock Water Treatment Plant, with bid submissions due on December 18, 2025, at 3:00 p.m. through an online Bonfire platform. Evaluation criteria will assess proposals based on price (40 points), past project experience (20 points), company and construction team qualifications (20 points), project plan and approach (10 points), and administrative compliance (0-10 points). The contract timeline stipulates 395 calendar days for substantial completion and 425 calendar days for final completion from the notice to proceed.

The project includes two specific allowances totaling $100,000 ($50,000 for filter underdrain improvements and $50,000 for unforeseen conditions) and requires bidders to submit a 5% bid bond with performance and payment bonds for 100% of the contract amount. Liquidated damages are set at $1,000 per calendar day of delay. While no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises are explicitly mentioned in the documentation, the comprehensive nature of the project suggests a preference for contractors with significant water treatment infrastructure experience. The project will be funded by the City of Round Rock, though precise funding details are not specified in the available documents. The scope of work suggests a substantial capital investment in modernizing water treatment infrastructure, potentially indicating a project value in the multi-million dollar range. Contractors will need to integrate new systems with existing water treatment plant infrastructure, demonstrating technical capability to manage complex municipal utility upgrades.
