The City of Ashland is soliciting bids for the construction of the Ashland Creek Water Treatment Plant, a project necessitated by the vulnerability of the existing 1928 facility to landslides, fire, and flooding. The scope of work involves the construction of a new drinking water treatment plant featuring raw water conveyance, pressure reduction, chemical pretreatment, filtration, filtered water storage and pumping, and chemical storage and metering. Additional infrastructure includes water and sewer lines, a clear well, a cast-in-place culvert, and an Ozone Off Gas Treatment System. The project also includes options for a solar array and a battery energy storage system as alternates. Bids are due by November 5, 2026, at 1:00 PM Pacific time, with a mandatory contractor prequalification deadline of November 1, 2026. The contract is a stipulated price agreement governed by EJCDC C-700 and C-800 standard and supplementary conditions. Award will be based on the lowest-priced responsive bid from a responsible bidder, with evaluations considering financial ability, experience, and resources. The project has a substantial completion timeline of 1,005 days and requires compliance with Oregon Prevailing Wage laws and AIS certification for ductile-iron components due to federal funding. Performance is subject to a one-year guarantee period evaluated under both summer and winter conditions.
