Inspection of Radial Collector Wells

The City of Cedar Rapids is soliciting sealed bids through its online e-procurement system (IonWave) for the inspection of six radial collector wells, with the deadline for submission set for 3:00 p.m. CDT on May 2, 2024. Bidders are responsible for ensuring their responses are correctly submitted via the electronic portal, as the city will not accept email, fax, or hard copy submissions. The bid opening will occur immediately after the deadline, and evaluations will follow promptly. Once a contract is awarded, a bid tabulation will be shared with all bidders, but results will not be disclosed prior to the award or over the phone. Bids may be withdrawn before the deadline, but no modifications or withdrawals are permitted for sixty days afterward, ensuring a stable evaluation process. This procurement is part of the city’s ongoing efforts to maintain and operate critical water infrastructure, specifically the radial collector wells. The contract details, including the solicitation number PUR0324-246, indicate a focus on ensuring proper inspection services. The primary contact for inquiries is Rebecca Johnson, reachable via email or phone. The process emphasizes transparency, strict adherence to submission procedures, and a clear timeline for questions, submission, and evaluation, aligning with the city’s procurement policies. The overarching goal is to secure qualified vendors capable of performing the well inspections efficiently and in compliance with all specified requirements.
