Quick Summary
The Department of the Air Force is soliciting quotations for the repair of the sewer lift station at Building 509 on Joint Base Charleston Air Base, South Carolina. This 100% Small Business Set-Aside opportunity requires the replacement of standpipes, bases, and guide rails for four existing pumps. Quotes are due by May 13, 2026, at 2:00 PM EDT.

The project involves providing all plant, labor, material, parts, and equipment necessary to replace the standpipes, bases, and guide rails on the sewer lift station. Key tasks include:
- Setting up for OSHA Permitted Confined Space Entry (CSE).
- Plugging the manhole and installing contractor-provided bypass pumps (only one bypass pump is sufficient).
