WWTF Generator Addition and WTP Generator Addition & MCC Replacement

The City of Craig, Colorado, is seeking sealed bids for a comprehensive infrastructure improvement project involving generator additions and electrical system replacements at two critical municipal facilities: the Wastewater Treatment Facility (WWTF) and Water Treatment Plant (WTP). The project scope includes installing emergency generators, automatic transfer switches, concrete pads, conduit trenching, masonry repairs, painting, and associated electrical work. Bidders must attend a mandatory pre-bid meeting scheduled for 1:00 p.m. on Tuesday, April 22, 2025, at City Hall located at 300 West 4th Street, Craig, CO. Sealed bids will be accepted until 10:00 a.m. on Tuesday, May 6, 2025, at the City Clerk's office, with questions accepted until the end of day on Tuesday, April 29, 2025. The project requires extensive technical capabilities, including expertise in heavy construction electrical infrastructure, generator installation, and compliance with complex federal funding requirements.

The procurement is subject to multiple federal regulatory requirements, including Davis-Bacon Act wage standards, Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) provisions, Build America, Buy America (BABA) Act, and American Iron and Steel (AIS) regulations. Contractors must demonstrate six good faith efforts in subcontractor procurement and adhere to prevailing wage determinations for Heavy Construction in Moffat County. The City will pre-purchase specific equipment for the project, including generator sets, main distribution switchboards, main control centers, and automatic transfer switches, with the awarded contractor responsible for installation, shipment tracking, and equipment storage. The project has strict seasonal restrictions, with water treatment plant outages prohibited during the high water use season (March through August) and limited to three-day maximum durations. While a specific budget range is not explicitly stated, the project is funded through EPA Community Project Funding, suggesting significant infrastructure investment with potential total project costs in the hundreds of thousands of dollars.
