Walker County Jail Water Conditioning System Upgrade

Walker County is inviting proposals from skilled contractors to undertake a critical project involving the acquisition and installation of a water conditioning system at the Walker County Jail. The initiative aims to upgrade the facility's water systems to ensure reliable and efficient water quality for its operations. The contract was recently updated in March 2025, and all previous references have been adjusted to align with the current bid number C2360-25-018. The comprehensive work outlined in the contract includes the replacement of outdated and corroded piping, valves, and specialized plumbing items, as well as the installation of necessary new components. The project also necessitates demolishing an existing water softener system and implementing a more advanced water conditioning solution. Essential components of the work involve the placement of four solenoid valves, with tasks covering both hot and cold water systems in the lower-level plumbing areas. Additionally, electrical work is required to establish appropriate circuits for system controls, which includes collaboration with external parties for control transformers and low-voltage tasks. The contract structure includes delineated Packages and Alternates, each needing separate pricing proposals from bidders. The project will officially begin following the contract award, and the chosen contractor is expected to propose a timeline for the project’s completion. All contractual activities will be carried out at the Walker County Jail located in Huntsville, Texas. The project falls under a solicitation category, representing a significant financial investment estimated to range between $500,000 and $1,500,000. Interested parties should direct their offers and inquiries to the primary contact, Laura Buccafurni, via the provided email and phone contact. The submission deadline for proposals is April 16, 2025.
