WRC: Lagoon Liner Repair

The Oakland County Water Resources Commissioner's Office (WRC) has issued a Request for Proposal (RFP) seeking as-needed repair services for 40-mil HDPE membrane liners located at Addison Oaks Oakland County Park. The procurement targets vendors capable of performing specialized wastewater treatment lagoon liner repairs, with strict technical qualifications including technicians who have completed at least 2 million square feet of welding experience. Vendors must conduct comprehensive pre-installation inspections, perform tensile strength testing, and provide detailed repair quotes for WRC approval. The RFP requires electronic submission through the Michigan Inter-Governmental Trade Network (MITN) online system, with all documents to be submitted in PDF format by October 3, 2024. Evaluation criteria will be quality-based, focusing on vendor experience, references, and proposed rates, with proposals expected to remain valid for 120 days after submission. Key deliverables include minimally invasive repairs that do not disrupt existing infrastructure, with a mandatory minimum one-year warranty on all repairs and materials. Vendors must demonstrate extensive experience in government lagoon liner repairs and provide comprehensive documentation of employee qualifications, licensing information, and professional references.

The solicitation does not explicitly outline specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Vendors must comply with E-Verify requirements, provide documentation of required insurance, and certify they are not an "Iran Linked Business." While no specific contract value is detailed, the RFP suggests a potential multi-year service arrangement with rate schedules provided for three consecutive years. The contract will require comprehensive insurance documentation and compliance with federal, state, and local regulations. Payment terms are standard at Net 30, with potential early payment discounts available. Vendors will be responsible for all costs associated with proposal preparation and submission. Oakland County reserves the right to accept, reject, or split awards among multiple vendors based on price, availability, and services that best meet the county's interests. The procurement process emphasizes technical competence, safety compliance, and the ability to perform specialized membrane liner repair services with minimal disruption to existing infrastructure.
