Unit Price Utility Civil Work Support

This contract is a unit‑price solicitation for civil‑work services supporting the Chelan Public Utility District’s utility infrastructure across Chelan and Douglas Counties, Washington. The scope includes excavation, trenching, conduit installation, utility structure placement, grading, back‑filling, compaction, and surface restoration (lawn, asphalt, concrete, gravel) around existing utility facilities. The agency awarded the contract to Batchelor Excavation LLC for a value of approximately $3.0 million. The solicitation was opened on 18 Nov 2025 at 2:00 pm, and the agency’s estimated budget for the work was $3.4 million. The contract type is unit‑price, indicating that work will be performed and paid for on a per‑unit basis as tasks are performed. Key points for potential competitors: • The work is strictly utility‑civil construction, ideal for firms with excavation, trenching, and conduit‑laying capabilities. • All bidders were Washington‑based, so local presence or a Washington subcontractor is essential. • The award value is below the agency’s estimate, suggesting room for competitive pricing. • No bond or specific performance‑guarantee requirements were listed in the tabulation, but the original solicitation should be checked for any such clauses.
