(1) "Trade Secret" means an unpatented, secret, commercially valuable plan, appliance, formula, or process, which is used for making, preparing, compounding, treating or processing articles or materials which are trade commodities.

(2) "Confidential commercial or financial information" means any business information (other than trade secrets) which is exempt from the mandatory disclosure requirement of the Freedom of Information Act, 5 U.S.C. 552. Exemptions from mandatory disclosure which may be applicable to business information contained in proposals include exemption (4), which covers "commercial and financial information obtained from a person and privileged or confidential," and exemption (9), which covers "geological and geophysical information, including maps, concerning wells."

(b) If the offeror, or its subcontractor(s), believes that the proposal contains trade secrets or confidential commercial or financial information exempt from disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act, (5 U.S.C. 552), the cover page of each copy of the proposal shall be marked with the following legend:

"The information specifically identified on pages _______ of this proposal constitutes trade secrets or confidential commercial and financial information which the offeror believes to be exempt from disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act. The offeror requests that this information not be disclosed to the public, except as may be required by law. The offeror also requests that this information not be used in whole or part by the Government for any purpose other than to evaluate the proposal, except that if a contract is awarded to the offeror as a result of or in connection with the submission of the proposal, the Government shall have the right to use the information to the extent provided in the contract."

(c) The offeror shall also specifically identify trade secret information and confidential commercial and financial information on the pages of the proposal on which it appears and shall mark each such page with the following legend:

(e) If a request under the Freedom of Information Act seeks access to information in a proposal identified as trade secret information or confidential commercial and financial information, full consideration will be given to the offeror's view that the information constitutes trade secrets or confidential commercial or financial information. The offeror will also be promptly notified of the request and given an opportunity to provide additional evidence and argument in support of its position, unless administratively unfeasible to do so. If it is determined that information claimed by the offeror to be trade secret information or confidential commercial or financial information is not exempt from disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act, the offeror will be notified of this determination prior to disclosure of the information.

Description of Requirement:

Replace 6 Progressive Cavity Pumps in Hoover Dam Wastewater Plant

The Wastewater Treatment Group at Hoover Dam, Lower Colorado Dams Office, Lower

Colorado Basin, Bureau of Reclamation, US Department of Interior needs replacements for failing pumps at the Hoover Dam Wastewater Treatment Plant. Specifically, influent pumps C and D, Transfer Pumps A & B, as well as RAS (Return Activated Sludge) pumps #1 and #2, for a total of six (6) pumps.

The Influent Transfer Pumps are located adjacent to the 8,500-gallon equalization tank. They pump raw sewage from that tank to the 25,000-gallon Equalization Basin, where primary aeration and treatment is applied. This process relies on two Moyno Progressive Cavity Pumps that are specialized to pump the high solids content of raw wastewater without causing damage to the pump and to fit the existing piping without requiring major modifications or refitting.

Transfer Pumps A & B are located halfway down the plant, next to the 25,000-gallon

Equalization Basin. Their purpose is to send water from the basin to which they are adjacent, to the anoxic basins above the Wastewater Lab. These pumps are essential for sending wastewater from primary aeration to anoxic/anaerobic treatment, which is required for denitrification.

The RAS Pumps are located adjacent to the 25,000-gallon primary treatment basin and serve the purpose of transferring Return Activated Sludge (RAS) from the bottom of the clarifier to the primary treatment basin. This process is critical for the wastewater treatment process and to ensure compliance with state and federal regulations. This process also relies on two Moyno

Progressive Cavity Pumps with the same specifications as the Raw Wastewater Transfer Pumps.

The specifications for these 6 pumps are identical, as follows:

P/N: 1E036G1CDQ3AAA

MOYNO PROGRESSIVE CAVITY PUMP COMPLETE WITH 9.00:1 GEAR,

MOTOR, COUPLINGS, GUARD AND BASEPLATE

MOTOR: 5HP, 1760RPM, TEFC, 230/460V, 3 PHASE

*Must have duplicate to Moyno Liquid End with 6” 8-bolt flanges

Please Note: Moyno has sold the rights to manufacture this pump, so there are many other brands that can make them, but they must be identical so that spare parts will be interchangeable.

Skids must be 84 inches long X 15 inches wide and please provide 6 mounting tabs (packaged separately) for each skid that we can weld and position during installation.

The vendor must provide a 1-year warranty on all parts that will start upon date of delivery.

Pumps must be delivered to Hoover Dam Central Warehouse:

US Hwy 93, SR 172, Boulder City, NV 89005
