AI Contract Overview
The U.S. International Boundary and Water Commission is preparing to award a design-build contract for the construction of a new building at the Nogales International Wastewater Treatment Plant in Santa Cruz County, Arizona, to house advanced sludge dewatering and drying equipment as part of a biosolids management upgrade. The project involves designing and building a facility to accommodate the new sludge dryer system and associated polymer equipment, demolishing existing belt filter presses and related components (while preserving foundations, overhead structures, and electrical motor control centers), relocating an existing metal structure, and completing all necessary site work, utility connections, permitting, and commissioning to deliver a fully operational, code-compliant, turn-key facility. The new building must integrate all required utilities including water, sanitary sewer, electrical, fire protection, and communications systems, ensuring immediate readiness upon completion. The procurement will follow a firm fixed-price design-build structure with a performance period of 365 calendar days following the notice to proceed. The project is anticipated to be set aside for small businesses, pending market research. The scope is divided into two distinct phases: design, which includes site investigations, geotechnical analysis, preparation of construction documents, and regulatory coordination; and construction, encompassing demolition, relocation, building erection, equipment installation, quality control, and final commissioning. All work must comply with federal, state, and local codes including NEPA, OSHA, ADA/ABAAS, and environmental regulations, with the contractor responsible for securing all permits and coordinating with utility providers. The solicitation is scheduled for release on July 16, 2026, with proposals due approximately 30 days later. Interested parties must monitor SAM.gov for the official RFP and submit qualifications, technical approach, past performance, and price proposals. The place of performance is listed as Rio Rico, Arizona, with the contracting office located in El Paso, Texas.
