Pond Liner Replacement Project

The Chelan Public Utility District contracted to replace existing pond liners at its Similkameen and Dryden pond facilities. The work involves removing the old liners, preparing the pond beds, and installing new waterproof liners—a civil‑construction task that requires excavation, waterproofing, and liner installation expertise. The agency issued a Labor & Materials solicitation (25‑14802) that attracted four bids; the contract was ultimately awarded to Halme Builders, Inc. for $620,000. This project is typical of water‑utility infrastructure upgrades and may interest firms specializing in pond or reservoir construction, waterproofing, and related civil works. • Scope: Remove existing pond liner, install new liner at two pond facilities. • Location: Washington State (Chelan Public Utility District). • Awarded Vendor: Halme Builders, Inc. for $620,000 (fixed‑price). • Procurement: Full and open competition with multiple bidders.
