TBRD Water Leak Repair

The Tonto Basin Ranger District of the Tonto National Forest is undertaking a water leak repair project to address known issues in its drinking water network, primarily targeting leaking secondary pipes that supply 1- or 2-inch recreation hydrants. The solution involves relocating these hydrants to the main water lines and abandoning the damaged pipes in place rather than removing them. One identified leak is located beneath the asphalt of a campground loop, requiring the contractor to excavate, repair the line, backfill the trench, and restore the asphalt to its original condition and grade. To enhance system reliability and prevent future leaks, the contractor must install one priority valve and two pressure reduction valves at locations specified by the Contracting Officer’s Representative. All work must comply with applicable codes and contract requirements, and the contractor is fully responsible for providing personnel, equipment, tools, materials, and supervision to complete the project. The project is solicited under the title TBRD Water Leak Repair with solicitation number 127EAX26Q0087, posted on August 6, 2026, with proposals due by September 7, 2026. It is designated as a Small Business Set Aside, classified under NAICS code 238220 for plumbing, heating, and air-conditioning contractors. The office managing the solicitation is located in Albuquerque, New Mexico, while the work must be performed in Roosevelt, Arizona, at the Tonto National Forest site. The primary point of contact for inquiries is Troy A. McCullough, and upon project completion, the contractor is required to submit as-built drawings to the Forest Service to document all modifications and installations made during construction.
