Walnut Lift Station Force Main

The Village of Schaumburg is soliciting proposals for the design and reconstruction of the Walnut Lift Station and associated force main, a critical infrastructure project aimed at improving wastewater management in the region. The scope includes preparing bid and construction documents for a force main extending from Walnut Lane and Bode Road east to Ashley Lane, then south for approximately 100 to 200 feet, along with the full rehabilitation and reconstruction of the existing lift station. This involves demolition of the current building above the first-floor slab, abandonment of outdated mechanical and electrical components, construction of a new 8-foot diameter wet well, filling portions of existing wells with concrete, and installing three 70-horsepower submersible non-clog pumps with a spare, all mounted on a slide rail system within a factory-assembled modular building. Electrical systems must comply with NEC Group 1, Division 1, Group D explosion-proof standards and include SCADA equipment, a closed delta transformer, and integrated process piping with a force main connection to the existing line on North Walnut Lane. Site work includes new driveway aprons, facility pavement, landscaping restoration, and erosion control measures. The project is governed by the EJCIC Standard General Conditions of the Construction Contract (2013 Edition) and supplemented by custom conditions, with all work subject to compliance with Illinois state law and requiring adherence to detailed drawings and technical specifications referenced in 21 numbered sheets as well as environmental test results and reference documents. Proposals must be submitted electronically through the Village’s OpenGov e-Procurement portal by 3:00 p.m. on July 10, 2026, with no paper submissions accepted. Firms are required to create a free OpenGov account to participate. Proposals will be evaluated using a points-based system assigning 30% to the approach to the project, 25% to contractor qualifications and experience, 20% to value, 15% to organizational overview, and 10% to references, with mandatory pass/fail gates requiring demonstration of sufficient ability, experience in this class of work, and adequate capital and equipment to complete the project by the specified schedule. The project timeline begins with notice to proceed on September 1, 2026, and requires completion of construction by September 1, 2027, with critical milestones including 75% design by December 1, 2026; 100% bid drawings by February 1,
