Z--AZ IMPERIAL NWR WATER PUMP

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, under the Department of the Interior, has awarded a Firm Fixed-Price Construction Purchase Order for the installation of a water pump system at the Imperial National Wildlife Refuge in Yuma, Arizona, under contract number 140FC126Q0013. The work involves furnishing all labor, materials, and equipment necessary to install a complete pump and pressure system, including excavation, conduit, wiring, plumbing, and component staging, with the Government providing electrical power and water discharge access. Performance is strictly scheduled between June 8 and June 10, 2026, with all work required to commence within ten calendar days of notice to proceed and be completed within three calendar days thereafter. The contract value is estimated at less than $25,000, and award was made under simplified acquisition procedures on a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable basis with no discussions, focusing exclusively on fair and reasonable pricing from a responsible respondent. The contractor must comply with federal, state, and local codes, including the National Electrical Code, and adhere to manufacturer specifications and industry standards for water well and pump installations. Inspection and acceptance occur on-site at the refuge, with final authority resting solely with the Contracting Officer, supported by a Contracting Officer’s Representative who conducts on-site evaluations but cannot approve acceptance. Deliverables include technical documentation such as system schematics, test results, as-built drawings, warranty papers, and O&M manuals, alongside site restoration and staff training. Special requirements include immediate cessation of work upon discovery of endangered species, preservation of archaeological data with potential time and cost adjustments, restrictions on substitutions of key personnel or materials without prior written approval, and adherence to Davis-Bacon wage rules for on-site truck drivers. Security and supply chain compliance clauses prohibit the use of equipment or services from Huawei, ZTE, and Kaspersky Lab, mandate identity verification of personnel, and restrict dealings with entities involved in Iran-related activities. All submissions and communications must reference the contract number and be emailed to the designated administrative point of contact, with invoices required to be submitted via the Invoice Processing Platform, not WAWF. The Davis-Bacon Act wage determination applies, and the contractor must maintain current UEI and CAGE codes in SAM.gov.
