Description
The Delaware County Board of Commissioners is rebidding a drainage improvement project at Chancel Gate, requiring surface‑drain upgrades, subsurface‑drain installation, and removal of existing tile. The work is governed by ODOT and NRCS specifications and must be performed by a contractor pre‑qualified for all required ODOT classes (though pre‑qualification is no longer a bidding prerequisite). The contract value is capped at the Engineer’s estimate of $86,898.58, with required bid and performance bonds, insurance, and a one‑year warranty. The project timeline runs from mid‑November 2026 to early July 2027.
• Scope includes installation of perforated and non‑perforated pipe, inspection wells, lateral connections, rock pads, seeding/mulching, and utility relocations.
• Contractor must provide a 100 % bid bond (or 10 % certified check) and a 100 % performance bond, meet insurance minimums, and adhere to liquidated damages of $400 per day for late completion.
• No DBE goal or prevailing‑wage requirements; ODOT pre‑qualification is not required to bid, but any subcontractors must be ODOT‑qualified.
