About this file
This document is a Questions and Answers (Q&A) tracker for Solicitation No. 140P2025R0103, a National Park Service project to rehabilitate the Canyon Village Wastewater Treatment Plant. The Q&A covers technical specifications for a screw press dewatering system, control panel requirements, and project submission details. Key technical discussions include equipment specifications for the screw press (such as NEMA 4X, 316 stainless steel enclosures), performance parameters (50 gpm at 1.7% solids), and control system components.
Notable clarifications include requirements for Gold Certification with Inductive Automation for SCADA platforms, submission of project experience and past performance documents, and guidance on product substitutions. The document provides specific responses to vendor questions about equipment specifications, control system compatibility, motor requirements, and installation considerations. The solicitation emphasizes compliance with existing specifications and the need for vendors to address specific project experience topics in their proposals.

The NPS Small Business Subcontracting Goals include race- and gender-based classifications;
however, under the new DBE standards, those classifications have been removed.
Additionally, all Wyoming DBEs and SBEs have been decertified, leaving none currently available for solicitation. With the SBA website also offline, posting projects is not possible.
Given these circumstances, can you clarify how bidders can demonstrate a good faith effort to meet the current subcontracting goals?
The NPS has not been required to remove the requirements as of this date even though the requirements may changed with the new "FAR overhaul". Until such time, Offerors shall continue to recruit potential small businesses to meet the required socio-economic goals as presented. If the Offeror is a small business a subcontracting plan is not required.

One of the specifications states a requirement for Gold Certification with Inductive Automation. Is this a solid requirement? We have familiarity with Ignition (Inductive’s SCADA platform) and have implemented it in the past, but we do not hold the Gold Certification. Gold Certification for Integrators will be a requirement for this project.
11/19/2025
Factor - Project Experience - the solicitation requires us to address several topic (teaming experience, remote work, key trades and previous wastewater plant construction experience) -are we supposed to address each of the four topics for each project we include or provide a general response to each topic? Each topic needs to be addressed with each project.
11/19/2025 6 Factor 5 - Past Performance - can we use a previously completed PPQ or CPARS.
Only previous PPQ's will be accepted. The Government will pull CPARS records as part of the evaluation process.

SCREW PRESS INDUCTION MOTOR DATA SHEET: Additional motor requirements listed in referenced section 26 24 19 and the motor grounding mentioned on this data sheet would require the screw press manufacturer to provide a non-standard, custom motor as HUBER’s standard Nord motor does not utilize these special features. A custom motor like this has the potential to significantly increase machine cost and lead time as well as availability problems should it need to be replaced in the future.
Manufacturer may take exception to motor grounding and requirements in specification 26 24 19 that are not standard with a provided explanation.

Please clarify if the intention in utilizing a DS storage tank upstream of the screw press is to feed the unit in batches. This is not recommended and may have a negative impact on performance, as optimal dewatering system operation requires that the system has adequate time to reach steady state.
Digested sludge is pumped from the aerobic digesters to the Screw Press Feed Tank and then the Screw Press Feed Pump will convey sludge at a higher head condition to the screw press. This dual-pumping arrangement will be continuous and not a batch operation. This arrangement is due to the relative locations of the aerobic digesters and the screw press.

Flushing T-connection (4027-182) at screw press inlet is discouraged. Utilization of an elbow in this fitting’s place will decrease the probability of floc shear, and optimize system performance.
Sludge feed piping to the screw press that is elevated above the screw press inlet is not recommended. Piping configurations such as this can exert extra pressure on the screw press inlet and create siphoning issues when air becomes entrained in the elevated segments.
Flushing tee connection at inlet will be removed and replaced with elbow per manufacturer's recommendation. An air release valve will be added on the elevated piping to reduce siphoning, additional pressure is not expected to cause issues on screw press operations. Engineer has elevated piping prior to screw press on previous projects and has not observed issues.

The screw press is shown with end covers. These covers are aesthetic only, and not necessary for proper machine operation. Please confirm if these covers are desired.
Please confirm reasoning for use of eccentric reducers shown on each end of the flocculation pipe. HUBER recommends the use of concentric reducers to increase each reducer's ease of manufacture.
No end covers are required. Eccentric reducers will be used to prevent air trapping and allow smoother flow of sludge.

2.01.B.1: HUBER requires the Rotomat RPPS Size 1000 in lieu of the Size 780. The specified flow rate and TSS loading exceed the operational limits of the Size 780, consistent with previous HUBER proposals. All technical requirements and ancillary equipment associated with the Size 1000 shall be incorporated into the project design. (agreed with engineer)
Manufacturer stated that the RPPS has a capacity of 1.76 MGD. The maximum TSS loading values during peak flows (1.37 MGD) are expected to be <200 mg/L. Maximum month flows (0.5 MGD) TSS values are expected to be ~350 mg/L. Manufacturer to confirm if the 780 can meet these conditions. It is preferred to use the smaller screen to match the others proposed throughout Yellowstone. If the RPPS 780 can not be used for this application the RPPS 1000 is acceptable and the the specifications will be updated and channel width will be revised accordingly to accomodate the larger screen.

57 46 66 20 Section 2.01.C.2.c provides that a maximum flow per reactor: 0.67 MGD. Our original design was 1.5 MGD per reactor which resulted in the 32 lamp reactor proposed. This new flow of
0.67 MGD per reactor results in a change from our 32 lamp reactors to our 18 lamp reactors.
If the flow is actually 0.67 MGD then the spec will need to be updated for our smaller reactor.
Note that Drawing #101, Sheet 21 shows a Peak flow per unit of 1.5 MGD. Please confirm the flow.
