Pump Repair and Rebuild Services

The County of Orange, through its OC Public Works department, is soliciting competitive electronic bids for "Pump Repair and Rebuild Services" under solicitation number IFB-080-2964502-EL. Qualified vendors are invited to submit their proposals via the County’s online procurement portal by the deadline of March 3, 2026. The solicitation emphasizes adherence to a standardized model contract encompassing terms, conditions, and scope of work relevant to pump repair services. Bidders must carefully review all provided instructions, attachments, and model contract documents before submitting their electronic bids, as no other submission formats will be accepted. For assistance with the electronic bid submission process, vendors can contact the County’s procurement support or refer to the dedicated help portal. All inquiries related to the solicitation must be directed exclusively to the designated Question & Answer section by the stipulated cut-off date and time, preventing direct contact with other County personnel. To ensure proper contract performance and payment, a Labor and Material Payment Bond is required, providing financial security for laborers, suppliers, and subcontractors involved in the project, following California state law. This bond holds the contractor and surety jointly liable up to the bond amount. Additionally, a comparable performance bond framework is described, although pertaining to a different locality and project, which guarantees faithful contract execution, workmanship quality, compliance with contractual terms, and remedies in case of contractor default. This bond is typically underwritten by a surety company qualified to operate in the relevant jurisdiction and protects the County’s interests while enforcing contractor accountability throughout the project duration. The designated point of contact for this solicitation is the Deputy Purchasing Agent, Eve Lee. The contract will ultimately bind the County and the selected contractor under the outlined conditions and protect the County’s investment through these bonding measures.
