The Kansas Department of Administration, Office of Procurement and Contracts, is seeking well reconditioning services for Norton Correctional Facility, located in Morris County. The Request for Quote (RFQ) with bid event number EVT0010545 specifically requires comprehensive reconditioning of Well #1, which involves removing and replacing the existing well pump with a new 10-horsepower 230-volt 3-phase submersible pump, installing new drop pipe and discharge head, conducting a camera survey and report, treating the well with metal inhibited acid and surfactant using double sonar jet, and replacing piping. Bidders must submit a lump sum price broken down by materials and labor costs on the provided cost sheet, with a required 5% bid bond and potential performance bond of 100% for projects exceeding $40,000. An optional pre-bid meeting is scheduled for October 28, 2025, at 10:00 a.m. at the facility, and written questions must be submitted by November 6, 2025. Bids are due by November 11, 2025, at 2:00 p.m. CST, with submission options including email to Procurement@ks.gov or hand delivery to the Office of Procurement and Contracts.

Bidders must submit several mandatory certifications, including immigration compliance, sexual harassment policy acknowledgment, Israel boycott certification, and telecommunications equipment procurement certification, along with a current Kansas tax clearance certificate. There are no specific set-aside designations or restrictions on organizational types mentioned in the documents. The project is tax-exempt, and a tax exemption certificate will be provided at contract award. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the requirement for a performance bond suggests the potential project value could exceed $40,000. The work must be completed during normal business hours (Monday through Friday, 7:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.) with a project completion deadline of December 31, 2025.
