This is a Request for Bids (RFB) issued by the State of Iowa Department of Corrections for the Fort Dodge Correctional Facility. The procurement seeks a qualified vendor to provide a complete turnkey water treatment control system replacement, including a wall-mounted analyzer panel with real-time pH and temperature monitoring, a programmable controller with data logging capabilities, and a pre-assembled dual-pump sodium hydroxide injection package. The system must continuously monitor and automatically adjust the facility's water pH levels. Comprehensive pricing must cover delivery, installation, system integration, startup testing, and all factory-tested components compliant with industrial safety and performance standards. The bid opens on June 25, 2025, at 8:00 AM CDT and closes on July 16, 2025, at 2:00 PM CDT. Potential site visits are available upon request to allow bidders to assess existing facility infrastructure and compatibility requirements.

Bidders must submit detailed company information, including business history, technical experience, references, and key personnel resumes for evaluation purposes. Payment terms are structured at Net 60, allowing the State of Iowa up to 60 days to process invoices following system acceptance and installation. The solicitation does not explicitly reference set-aside designations or restrictions on respondent types, such as disadvantaged business enterprise requirements. Vendors will be evaluated primarily on technical capabilities, experience with similar industrial water treatment projects, proposed system specifications, pricing competitiveness, and ability to meet the stringent performance and safety requirements specific to correctional facility operations. The system must integrate with existing water infrastructure at the facility, suggesting potential compatibility considerations with current equipment and operations.
