Water Well Repair

Nevada's Division of Child and Family Services is soliciting proposals under RFP 40DHHS-S4080 for water well repair at the Nevada Youth Training Center in Elko, with optional site visit registration due November 16, 2026 at 5:00 p.m. and proposals due December 7, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. Pacific Time. No set-aside applies. Nevada-based businesses may claim an optional five percent preference if indicated in their nevadaepro.com vendor account and quote. The State Purchasing Division administers the solicitation through nevadaepro.com.

The scope includes replacing the 4-inch water main, meter, and check valve at the well house; installing C-900 DR-14 pipe, a flanged water meter, saddle taps with ball valves, and a silent check valve; performing water leak testing; and completing backfill, compaction, and site cleanup. Vendors must be registered on nevadaepro.com, hold a current Nevada business license, and maintain an active sam.gov entity registration. Required insurance includes commercial general liability of $2,000,000 aggregate and $1,000,000 per occurrence, automobile liability of $1,000,000 combined single limit, and builder's risk equal to the initial contract amount.

The State intends to award one contract for a term of less than one year, subject to Board of Examiners approval, with an estimated start date of December 28, 2026. The State strongly prefers vendors accept the attached standard form contract and insurance schedule as written. Invoices are normally paid 45 to 60 days after acceptance.

Evaluation weights are 50 percent for cost, 20 percent for experience replacing well meters, 20 percent for underground plumbing experience, and 10 percent for heavy equipment operation experience. The cost score uses a formula comparing each proposed cost against the highest and lowest bids submitted. Vendors must submit a technical proposal addressing mandatory minimum requirements and critical items, along with a separate cost proposal.

The optional site visit is held November 17, 2026 at 9:00 a.m. at 100 Youth Center Road, Elko, Nevada. Registration goes to sharon.knigge@dcfs.nv.gov, and groups are limited to four people unless the Purchasing Division approves more. Points of contact are Michael Sandberg at 775-748-6200 and Candita Strong at 775-748-6227.
