Solicitation W912ES27QA002 is a firm fixed price request for bids issued by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, St. Paul District, for a well replacement project at the Lac Qui Parle Project shop site located near Watson, Minnesota. This project is a 100% small business set-aside under NAICS 237110, with an estimated construction value between $25,000 and $60,000. The scope of work requires a licensed Minnesota well driller to install a new well with a 5 inch PVC casing and decommission the existing well by pulling the pump, sealing the casing with bentonite grout, and restoring the surface. The contractor must submit technical drawings of the new system prior to starting work and ensure all activities comply with the Corps of Engineers Safety and Health Manual EM-385-1-1 and Minnesota Department of Health Rules Chapter 4725. The performance period is 205 calendar days, with a final completion deadline of June 1, 2027. Bids must be submitted in sealed envelopes using Standard Form 1442 by 7:00 AM on October 22, 2026. Key contractual requirements include the provision of performance and payment bonds, adherence to Davis-Bacon Act prevailing wage rates, and compliance with the Buy American statute. Invoicing is handled through traditional methods as the St. Paul District does not utilize Wide Area Workflow. Award evaluation will prioritize domestic construction materials, and the successful offeror must maintain an active Unique Entity Identifier and CAGE code throughout the life of the contract.
