Anacostia II Wastewater Pumping Station Surge Tanks Removal

The Washington Suburban Sanitary Commission (WSSC) is soliciting sealed bids for the Anacostia II Wastewater Pumping Station Surge Tanks Removal project in Capitol Heights, Maryland. The scope of work involves the demolition and in-place abandonment of eight existing surge tanks that are no longer in use due to significant corrosion. Key activities include the removal of associated piping, valves, platforms, and miscellaneous structures, as well as the removal of four trees and the demolition of related pavement, sidewalks, curbs, and gutters. Because the surge tanks contain lead-based paint, the contractor must implement strict hazardous material controls to minimize airborne dust and protect workers and the public in accordance with OSHA and other regulatory standards. The project also requires erosion and sediment control, dewatering, and full site restoration, including asphalt and sidewalk replacement. Responses are due by September 30, 2026, at 2:00 pm and must be submitted via the WSSC eProcurement Portal. Bidders must be registered in the WSSC Supplier Portal and may be required to undergo a security background investigation to access sensitive project documents. The contract utilizes a combination of lump sum and unit pricing, with specific contingent items for soil testing, lead paint removal, and soils disposal. Award eligibility is based on responsibility, integrity, and the ability to meet minimum qualifications, with specific requirements for Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) and Small Local Business Enterprise (SLBE) participation. The successful contractor must comply with the Maryland Prevailing Wage Statute and the Maryland Buy American Steel Act, and provide necessary performance, payment, and maintenance bonds.
