Waterline Replacement

The Oklahoma City Water Utilities Trust is seeking a prequalified Water Pipeline Contractor "C" for a comprehensive waterline replacement project designated as Project No. WC-1100. The procurement covers infrastructure improvements in two primary segments: NW 126th Street to NW 122nd Street along Dorset Drive, and Pawnee Drive to North Western Avenue along West Memorial Road. The project entails installing approximately 3,860 linear feet of water pipeline using 6-inch, 8-inch, and 12-inch pipes, including 7 fire hydrant assemblies, multiple gate valves, and service line connections. Key deliverables include precise utility infrastructure replacement, careful coordination with existing underground utilities, and adherence to Oklahoma City standard specifications. The mandatory pre-bid conference is scheduled for May 28, 2025, at 11:00 AM, with sealed bids due by 10:00 AM on June 11, 2025. The project has a projected completion timeline of 150 calendar days from the work order date, funded through the City of Oklahoma City's Capital Improvement Program within the Utilities Department.

The contract requires a 5% bid security and includes provisions for performance, statutory, and maintenance bonds, with a two-year maintenance bond required at 100% of the contract amount. While specific set-aside designations are not explicitly detailed, the project emphasizes compliance with small, local, and minority business utilization programs. Bidders must complete and submit mandatory documentation including a Business Relationship Affidavit and an Anti-Noncollusion Affidavit to ensure transparency and ethical bidding practices. The project requires contractors to protect and maintain existing infrastructure, including fiber optic, underground power, and telecommunications lines during construction. Although a specific budget range is not provided, the comprehensive nature of the infrastructure work suggests a significant municipal investment in water utility improvements. Contractors must obtain necessary permits and comply with erosion control and traffic management regulations throughout the project duration.
