About this file
This is Addendum No. 2 to a solicitation issued by the City of Baton Rouge Office of the Mayor-President Purchasing Division for the procurement of five dry pit submersible wastewater pumps. The addendum, dated August 27, 2026, provides clarifications and responses to six bidder inquiries regarding the specifications and requirements outlined in the original solicitation (File Number 26-07227, Solicitation Number REQ7227). Key clarifications include confirmation that spare parts consist of one impeller and one set of bearing/seals total rather than per pump, that a control panel is not required as it will be provided by the construction project contractor, that all five pumps are identical units configured in parallel with four duty and one standby operation, and that the specified design pump curve accommodates all operating conditions. The solicitation remains scheduled for bid opening on September 10, 2026 at 11:00 a.m. CST, with the inquiry period closing on August 27, 2026.
The addendum further clarifies that the dry weather design flow is 8,600 gallons per minute achievable with a single pump operating at approximately 50 Hz, and that only electric-driven pumps are acceptable—hydraulic-driven alternatives will not be considered. Bidders who have already submitted proposals and require revisions based on this addendum must return changes to the Purchasing Division prior to the bid opening. All bidders must acknowledge receipt of this addendum by signing and returning it in accordance with the established provisions. Questions regarding the solicitation should be directed to Purchasing Analyst Richard Terrell at 225-389-3259 extension 3263 or rterrell@brla.gov.

REQ7227 - PUMP PROCUMENT – DRY PIT SUBMERSIBLE WASTERWATER PUMPS
Questions and Answers
Q1: 1.06 – Spares – Are you asking for one impeller and one set of bearing/seals total, or one set for each pump
(Qty 5 each)?
R1: One impeller and one set of bearing/seals total should be provided, not five of each.
Q2: 2.07 – Pump Protection and Monitoring – Do you need an entire control panel for these or just the bare MAS
Units? If entire control panel, should we coordinate with Tesco or include ourselves?
R2: A control panel is not required. That will be provided by the contractor in the construction project. The
MAS unit or equal will be Owner furnished to the contractor.
Q3: On the four pump wet weather system as well as the one pump dry weather system. Is it four pumps leading to a common header or four individual lines emptying into a gravity main?
R3: The specifications are for five identical pumps in parallel, four duty and one standby.
Q4: I only see individual TDHs. There is no TDH for two, three or four pumps operating at the same time.
R4: The specified design pump curve accounts for all conditions.
Q5: We also need clarification for the dry weather operation. They state 6,800gpm (one pump at reduced speed), which conflicts with the single wet weather duty point of 6,325gpm at 60hz.
R5: 8,600 gpm is the calculated dry weather design flow. A single pump with the specified design pump curve will produce that flowrate at approximately 50 Hz.
Q6: I see that the specs are for an electric driven pump, but curious to know if a hydraulic driven pump could be submitted?
R6: Hydraulic driven pumps are not acceptable.
