DCZ-1/1 Monitoring Well Rehabilitation

The Inland Empire Utilities Agency (IEUA) is soliciting electronic bids under IFB-JV-26-017 for the rehabilitation of Monitoring Well DCZ-1/1, located at the Declez Groundwater Recharge Basin in Jurupa Valley, California. The primary objective is to restore groundwater flow and resolve excessive drawdown through a multi-phase process involving mechanical cleaning with a 3.5-inch dual swab and nylon brush assembly, chemical treatments using a 1,800-ppm sodium hypochlorite solution and Nu-Well 220 mud dispersant, and airlifting for purging. All chemicals and equipment must be PFAS-free and ANSI/NSF 60 certified. Key deliverables include up to three well video surveys with depth precision to 0.1 foot, daily reports, and the submission of Safety Data Sheets three days prior to chemical use. The project is scheduled to begin on November 1, 2026, with bids due via the PlanetBids portal by October 1, 2026. Qualified contractors must provide a 10% bid bond, a fully burdened fee schedule, and at least three references for similar work performed within the last five years. Mandatory requirements include registration with the Department of Industrial Relations per Labor Code section 1725 and adherence to specific insurance limits for general liability, automobile liability, and workers compensation. Payment is processed electronically via ACH within 30 days of invoice approval by the Project Manager. Award is based on responsiveness and price, with the agency reserving the right to reject bids that exceed the appropriated budget.
