26WT06 Kaw Raw Water Line Emergency Repair

The City of Stillwater, Oklahoma, is undertaking an emergency repair of a 36-inch-diameter steel raw waterline that is leaking beneath US-64 southeast of its intersection with US-177. The leak, located approximately 51 feet north of the south end of a 42-inch steel casing and beneath the pavement, has been confirmed through acoustic detection and requires immediate action due to the critical nature of the water supply infrastructure. The depth of cover at the site is about seven feet, and the south end of the casing has already been excavated and temporarily backfilled with rock. The project is structured as a fixed-price contract with a solicitation number of 9-2026 and a bid deadline of April 29, 2026. The scope includes the repair of the leaking waterline, both above and below the springline, with specific line items addressing mobilization, stormwater pollution prevention, traffic control, excavation, backfill, asphalt pavement replacement, and site restoration. Pricing for individual components varies, with the leak repair above the springline ranging from $89,000 to $152,500 and below the springline fixed at $102,000 for one bidder. Additional optional components include up to three 1-inch leak hole repairs. The contractor is required to submit a detailed construction schedule within 30 days of notice to proceed, including Gantt and CPM charts, and must adhere to strict performance standards including daily reports, material tracking, site cleanliness, and compliance with ANSI, UL, NFPA, ICC/IBC, and ASTM standards. All work must be performed on-site, with final acceptance occurring after inspection by the Architect and issuance of a Certificate of Final Acceptance. The contractor is responsible for obtaining permits, maintaining insurance, providing performance and payment bonds, submitting certificates of insurance, a schedule of unit prices, staff assignments, and key consultant lists. Special warranties for roofing and drainage systems must be prepared, approved, and submitted in bound copies at final completion. The contract mandates F.O.B. destination delivery terms, with all materials required to be protected from environmental damage and stored in weathertight, ventilated enclosures. There is no designated contracting officer, COR, COTR, or PCO identified in the documentation, and no FAR clauses, unique entity ID certifications, socioeconomic status declarations, or accounting appropriation data are included. The project is treated as high priority with time being of the essence,
