Town of Stanley - Pond Avenue VDH SWAP Sewer Project

The Town of Stanley is soliciting bids for the Pond Avenue VDH SWAP Sewer Project, which involves the complete abandonment of an existing residential septic system at 314 Pond Ave and the installation of a new sewer grinder pump station, sewer force main, and house lateral connection. The project requires tying these new components into the existing sewer system, specifically connecting to a manhole located in front of 396 Pond Ave. This stipulated price contract is funded by a Virginia Department of Health grant and is governed by EJCDC standards. The project timeline specifies substantial completion by November 30, 2026, and final completion and closeout by December 15, 2026. Bids must be submitted via paper copy and hand-delivered or mailed to the Town of Stanley by September 23, 2026, at 3:00 PM. The evaluation process considers the bidder's responsiveness, responsibility, and price, as well as their qualifications and experience. Required submission materials include a bid security bond of 5 percent, and the successful contractor must provide performance and payment bonds along with a certificate of insurance before receiving a notice to proceed. The scope includes a lump sum for the primary installation and a unit price for rock or unsuitable trench excavation. Inspections will be conducted by Racey Engineering, and the Town will cover the cost of required third-party compaction testing.
