The Town of North Attleborough, Massachusetts, is soliciting bids for well rehabilitation and pump maintenance services under contract number 27-450-044 for a one-year period from July 1, 2026, to June 30, 2027. The scope of work encompasses comprehensive maintenance, repair, and emergency response for eight active water wells and three high-lift pumps, including chemical treatments, video inspections, equipment redevelopment, and routine servicing of motors, control panels, and generators. Contractors must submit detailed rate sheets for each service category and provide a fixed $20,000 repair allowance. All work is to be performed by the contractor’s own personnel, with no subcontracting permitted, and must adhere to specified equipment standards such as portable full-color video systems and hydraulic surging pistons with defined operational parameters. The Town requires that all field crews consist of a minimum two-person team, and contractors must maintain a service office within 50 miles of North Attleborough with 24-hour emergency response capability. Bidders must hold a valid Massachusetts Driller’s License, demonstrate at least 10 years of experience in well rehabilitation, and provide 10 references for similar projects. Proposals must be submitted electronically via the OpenGov Procurement portal by 11:00 a.m. on July 30, 2026, and must include a price proposal form, rate sheet, certificate of corporate authority, tax compliance documentation, non-collusion statement, and W-9 form. The award will be made on a lowest price technically acceptable basis, with no weighting applied to evaluation factors. Contractors must provide performance and payment bonds, carry general liability insurance of $1 million per occurrence and $2 million aggregate, automobile liability of $1 million, workers’ compensation at statutory limits, and a $1 million umbrella policy, with the Town named as an additional insured. All materials not explicitly approved must be submitted for Town review, and the contractor assumes full liability for non-compliance. The contract mandates indemnification for claims including those related to COVID-19, prohibits verbal orders and assignment without written approval, and makes payment contingent on fund availability, with invoices due within 45 days of receipt. A one-year warranty period begins at the date of acceptance, and all work must comply with Massachusetts hazardous materials labeling laws and manufacturer specifications.
