WRC Oxford Woods WTP Coating

The Oakland County Water Resources Commissioner is seeking sealed bids for the Oxford Woods Water Treatment Plant (WTP) Restoration Project - Coating, specifically targeting restoration work for one 8,600-gallon hydropneumatic tank and two 17,039-gallon pressure filter vessels located at 1295 Queens Drive in Oxford, Michigan. The project requires comprehensive surface preparation using abrasive blasting and applying epoxy coating systems to exterior and interior surfaces, along with miscellaneous repairs including weld repairs, patch plates, and pit welding. Electronic sealed bids will be received until Tuesday, October 28, 2025, at 1:00 PM via the BidNet Direct website, with a public bid opening conducted through Microsoft Teams. The project is scheduled to commence on or after November 3, 2025, with substantial completion expected by May 1, 2026. Bidders must submit a 5% bid bond or certified/cashier's check and comply with all specifications, including comprehensive documentation such as safety plans, product data sheets, and experience qualifications. The contract will be awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, subject to the Owner's final approval.

The procurement does not explicitly outline specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. While no incumbent vendors are mentioned, the project involves extensive coordination with other ongoing work, including manway gasket replacement, piping bolt replacement, and filter media replacement. Bidders must meet specific technical requirements for coating application, environmental protection, and workplace safety. The project is funded through the Oakland County Water Resources Commissioner's budget, with no explicit mention of additional external funding sources. While a precise contract value is not specified, the comprehensive scope of work involving tank and vessel restoration, surface preparation, and coating suggests a significant municipal infrastructure investment. Interested contractors must demonstrate technical expertise in industrial coating, surface preparation, and water treatment facility restoration to be considered for this project.
