Quick Summary
The Indian Health Service (IHS), specifically the DIV OF ENGINEERING SVCS - SEATTLE office, has issued a Pre-Solicitation Notice for the Rosebud Lift Station Construction project. This opportunity, located in Rosebud, SD, is for the full removal and replacement of the existing wastewater lift station serving the hospital, quarters units, and tribal program buildings. The new lift station will be designed to handle current and future expansion needs. This is a Total Small Business Set-Aside opportunity.
Scope of Work
The project's primary goal is to replace an aging lift station (in place since the early 1990s) that is struggling to meet the demands of increased wastewater due to hospital expansion (emergency department, dialysis, detox, Tribal Health Administration Building) and new housing units (19 added, 23 anticipated). The existing pumps fail frequently, leading to costly replacements and sewage disposal.
The construction will involve:
- Full removal and replacement of the existing lift station.
- Installation of a new wet well, dry well, and chopper pumps.
- Connection to the existing force main.
- Implementation of a new control system for monitoring flow and equipment status.
- Demolition of the old lift station components (wet well, dry well, pumps, piping) once the new system is operational.
