RFQ - Raw Water Wet Well Cleaning

The West Travis County Public Utility Agency (WTCPUA) is soliciting sealed quotes for the cleaning of two raw water intake wet wells located at its facility in Austin, Texas. The scope of work involves the removal of sediment, silt, and organic debris from the floors and walls of Wet Well No. 1 and No. 2 using commercial diving services, such as diver-operated vacuuming and pressure washing. To maintain operational continuity, the contractor must clean the wells one at a time and coordinate all shutdown and return-to-service activities with WTCPUA Operations. The project is intended for completion in December 2026, and the deadline for submitting sealed quote packages is November 3, 2026. Qualified contractors must demonstrate experience with submerged utility structures and provide certifications for the commercial dive team and supervisor. Deliverables include pre- and post-cleaning digital video and photographs, daily field tickets, and a final written report summarizing the work and disposal records. Quotes must be itemized across seven specific categories, including mobilization, labor, equipment, and sediment disposal. The contractor is responsible for all safety plans, OSHA compliance, and the legal transport and disposal of all removed materials. Awarding will be made in the best interest of the Agency based on the submitted qualifications, technical approach, and pricing.
