Well 8 Rehabilitation Project

The City of Lompoc is soliciting bids for the comprehensive rehabilitation of Water Division Well 8 in Lompoc, California. The project requires a contractor with a valid California C-57 license to provide all labor, materials, and equipment necessary to restore the well to City and State standards. The scope of work is divided into four primary phases: pretreatment to remove scaling and mineral encrustations, chemical and mechanical treatment to break down biofilms and deposits, redevelopment to clear detached materials, and the final reinstallation and testing of the pump. The contractor is responsible for site management, including the installation of temporary fencing, utilities, and portable toilets, with a requirement to complete all work within 60 working days. The contract will be awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder based on compliance with bid requirements, past performance, reputation, and financial capability. Bids must be physically delivered by July 1, 2026, at 2:00 p.m., and must include an original signed copy, a duplicate, and a flash drive containing all required documentation. Key compliance mandates include adherence to California Department of Industrial Relations registration and prevailing wage laws, as well as the provision of performance and labor and materials bonds equal to 100 percent of the contract amount. Additionally, the contractor must maintain significant insurance coverages, including 2 million dollars in Commercial General Liability, and is subject to liquidated damages of 500 dollars per day for late completion.
