Arcadia Wet Well Rehabilitation
DEPT OF DEFENSE.DEPT OF THE ARMY.US ARMY CORPS OF ENGINEERS.ENGINEER DIVISION SOUTHWESTERN.ENDIST TULSA.W076 ENDIST TULSA · Response deadline: Mon, 26 Oct 2026
What the government is buying
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Tulsa District (SWL) is soliciting bids for Arcadia Wet Well Rehabilitation. Wet well rehabilitation typically involves repair, restoration, or upgrades to the below-ground chamber (wet well) of a pump station, which collects wastewater or stormwater before it is pumped to treatment facilities or discharge points. This type of work generally includes concrete repair, coating systems, structural reinforcement, mechanical equipment replacement, and corrosion protection—common needs in aging water infrastructure.
This is construction work in the Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction sector, which encompasses water and sewage system structures not captured by more specific NAICS categories.

Eligible bidders include:
- Small construction firms that meet the SBA size standard for this NAICS code
- Large contractors with water/wastewater infrastructure experience
- Joint ventures (must comply with SBA joint venture rules if seeking small-business consideration)
Certification requirements are not specified in the metadata; see the solicitation for any security clearances, safety qualifications (OSHA, EM 385-1-1), or bonding requirements typical for Corps projects.
How to put together a competitive bid
Understand Corps of Engineers requirements: USACE construction contracts typically follow ECC/EFAA specifications with rigorous safety, quality control, and environmental compliance. Expect requirements for a site-specific Accident Prevention Plan and Activity Hazard Analysis.
Assess wet well expertise: Highlight prior rehabilitation of pump stations, wastewater structures, or confined-space work. Concrete deterioration assessment, epoxy lining installation, and pump removal/reinstallation experience strengthen proposals.
Evaluate subcontracting needs: Mechanical/electrical trades, diving services, or certified coating applicators may be required. The solicitation should specify allowable subcontracting percentages and any flow-down clauses.
Pricing considerations: Wet well rehabilitation carries uncertainty until dewatering and surface inspection. The solicitation type and any unit-price or lump-sum structure will affect risk allocation; see the solicitation for pricing instructions.
Bonding: Prepare bid and performance/payment bonds, as Corps projects typically require both.
