Well Installation and Well Abandonment (2022-CR-32W)

The Commonwealth of Virginia, specifically through the Virginia Department of Health (VDH), is soliciting bids for a Well Installation and Well Abandonment project (2022-CR-32W) located in Goochland County. The procurement involves constructing a new private water well and abandoning an existing well, with comprehensive supporting services including tree removal, site clearing, well pump and plumbing installation, disinfection, and detailed reporting. The initial bid specification requires a 150-foot well, with a per-foot rate for any additional depth beyond the base requirement. Contractors must comply with all Virginia regulations, obtain necessary permits and inspections, and provide comprehensive project documentation to VDH. The project requires bidders to furnish all labor, supervision, equipment, tools, parts, supplies, and materials necessary to complete the water well installation and abandonment. The response deadline is July 10, 2024, and bidders must submit a detailed cost breakdown with strict prohibitions on including costs for additional services in the base bid.

This solicitation is specifically set aside with award priority given to Department of Small Business and Supplier Diversity (DSBSD)-certified micro or small businesses, with particular emphasis on women-owned and minority-owned businesses. If no bids are received from certified small businesses, the contract will be awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, subject to the agency's determination of fair and reasonable pricing. The project is funded through a VDH grant program, with invoices to be submitted to VDH upon work completion and approval by the local health department. No incumbent contractors are mentioned in the documentation. While a specific award value is not disclosed, the contract includes provisions for potential additional work through VDH-approved change orders. Contractors will be required to maintain appropriate licensing, insurance, and comply with all state construction terms and conditions, including a one-year warranty on all completed work.
