RC1 and CC1 Electrical Building and Equipment Additions

The Tarrant Regional Water District is soliciting competitive sealed proposals for the RC1-CC1 Electrical Building and Equipment Addition project, with a budget of 124,000,000 dollars. The primary objective is to enhance the safety and reliability of the Richland Chambers Lake (RC1) and Cedar Creek Lake (CC1) pump stations by replacing medium-voltage electrical equipment and constructing new electrical buildings. The scope of work includes mobilization, electrical building and equipment installation for both stations, and specific substation improvements at CC1. Substantial completion is required by June 30, 2030, with a strong preference for the early completion of the RC1 site. Final payment eligibility occurs 60 days after substantial completion. The contract is governed by Tarrant Regional Water District standard and supplementary conditions, with liquidated damages set at 8,000 dollars per day for substantial completion and 3,000 dollars per day for final completion. Awarding is based on best value, evaluated through a process complying with Texas Government Code Chapter 2269. Offerors must provide a bid bond equal to 5 percent of the proposed contract price and maintain significant insurance coverages, including 20,000,000 dollars for automobile liability and a general aggregate of 20,000,000 dollars for bodily injury and property damage. Technical requirements include adherence to NFPA and IBC standards, the implementation of a Contractor Quality Control Plan, and strict site safety protocols, including a total ban on firearms. Proposals must be submitted via the OpenGov portal by the deadline of October 15, 2026.
