1.7 PERFORMANCE GUARANTEE
Supplier shall provide a written performance guarantee for the proposed Hydrogen Sulfide (H₂S) Removal System, as documented in Form 2. Guaranteed values shall be established under the design conditions specified in Section 43 32 59 and based on the influent gas composition and operating conditions identified therein.
The values entered in Zone B of Form 2 constitute the Supplier’s binding contractual performance guarantee. These values, together with the O&M cost inputs in Zone C of Form 2, shall be the sole basis for the Economic Evaluation described in Section 1.10, Part 2. No separate or additional performance representation submitted elsewhere in the bid shall supersede the Zone B values.
1. Influent hydrogen sulfide concentration
2. Moisture content
3. Gas temperature
4. Oxygen concentration (if applicable)
5. Siloxane or contaminant assumptions
6. Operating hours
7. Vessel operating configuration
Performance guarantees shall be supported by demonstrated operating experience at comparable full-scale municipal wastewater treatment facilities treating digester gas.
Failure of the supplied equipment to achieve guaranteed performance following startup and performance verification (see Section 43 32 59) shall require Supplier to make corrections, modifications, or equipment replacement at no additional cost to the Owner until specified and guaranteed performance is achieved.
Performance guarantees based upon operating assumptions materially different than the Basis of Design identified in Section 43 32 59 may be considered non-responsive at the sole discretion of the Owner.

Proponents are required to submit all data required in the bid forms.
The Proponent acknowledges and agrees to the following:
1. AECOM and AQUA are required to develop cost estimates that will be considered in awarding the Contract;
2. That AECOM and AQUA shall be entitled to rely upon such estimates in making its decision at its sole discretion;
3. That the Proponent is not entitled to question the estimates or the manner in which they were made, including whether they contain errors or omissions; and
4. That the Proponent shall have no claim against the Owner, AECOM, or AQUA (or their employees, elected officials, officers or directors, or agents) in respect of the preparation of the estimates and the reliance thereon, whether arising in contract, tort or otherwise.
PART 3 – NON-ECONOMIC EVALUATION
The Non-Economic evaluation will evaluate the degree to which the proposed system deviates from the intent of this RFB, and will consider:

1.02 SUMMARY:
A. Section includes administrative and procedural requirements for quality assurance and quality control.
B. Testing and inspecting services are required to verify compliance with requirements specified or indicated. These services do not relieve Supplier of responsibility for compliance with the Contract Document requirements.
1. Specific Quality Assurance and Quality Control requirements for individual manufacturing and fabrication activities are specified in the sections that specify those activities. Requirements in those sections may also cover production of standard products.
2. Specified tests, inspections, and related actions do not limit Supplier's other Quality Assurance and Quality Control procedures that facilitate compliance with the Contract Document requirements.
3. Requirements for Supplier to provide Quality Assurance and Quality Control services required by Engineer, Owner, or authorities having jurisdiction are not limited by provisions of this section.
C. Related Requirements:
1. Divisions 02 through 48 sections for specific test and inspection requirements.

C. Pre-Manufacture Testing: Tests and inspections performed specifically for Project before materials and components are incorporated into the Equipment, to verify performance or compliance with specified criteria.
D. Product Testing: Tests and inspections that are performed by a Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratory (NRTL), an (National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program (NVLAP), or a testing agency qualified to conduct product testing and acceptable to authorities having jurisdiction, to establish product performance and compliance with specified requirements.
1. NRTL: A nationally recognized testing laboratory according to 29 CFR 1910.7.
2. NVLAP: A testing agency accredited according to NIST's National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program.
E. Source Quality Control Testing: Tests and inspections that are performed at the source, e.g., plant, mill, factory, or shop.
F. Field Quality Control Testing: Tests and inspections that are performed on-site during installation, startup, and commissioning of the Equipment by others, and for the completed installation.
G. Testing Agency: An entity engaged to perform specific tests, inspections, or both. Testing laboratory shall mean the same as testing agency.
H. Installer/Applicator/Erector: The Installing Contractor, or another entity engaged by Owner or General Contractor, to receive, install, erect, place, or connect the Equipment furnished by Supplier, including installation, erection, application, and similar operations performed in coordination with Supplier.
