The U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Reclamation, through its Upper Colorado Regional Office in Salt Lake City, Utah, is pursuing the turnkey replacement of the basement sump pump and eductor dewatering system at the Elephant Butte Field Division Powerplant under a planned Firm Fixed Price purchase order. This procurement is structured as a Total Small Business Set-Aside under FAR 19.5, with the applicable NAICS code 333996 for Fluid Power Pump and Motor Manufacturing, ensuring eligibility is restricted to small businesses. The scope encompasses complete removal and disposal of the existing sump pump, eductor system, piping, electrical components, anchors, and deteriorated sole plate, followed by installation of a new system including three industrial-grade sump pumps—two for active duty and one as an onsite spare—along with associated pump motors, a venturi eductor assembly, stainless steel piping, valves, fittings, supports, and a 316 stainless steel sole plate. The system must deliver a minimum capacity of 240 GPM at 14 feet of total dynamic head with redundant lead/lag operation and full integration into existing control and alarm systems. Additional requirements include level sensors, high-water alarms, control devices, electrical integration, and continuous temporary dewatering during installation. The contractor is responsible for mechanical and electrical testing, commissioning, operator training, and delivery of all documentation, as-built drawings, and warranties. Work must occur exclusively within the facility’s approved non-generation outage window from October 15 through February 14, with normal work hours Monday through Thursday from 7:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., and must be completed within 90 days of award. All activities are subject to OSHA regulations and facility safety protocols, with the sump pit designated as a permit-required confined space requiring approved safety plans, lockout/tagout procedures, and proper rigging and lifting practices.
