About this file
This is an Amendment #1 document for a Request for Bid issued by the University of Wisconsin-Madison for the procurement of a Goulds Vertical Industrial Turbine Pump under solicitation number 2024-UWMSN-00408-RFB. The amendment provides clarifications and answers to four substantive bidder inquiries regarding equipment specifications and delivery logistics. The pump is specified as a complete assembly with motor, featuring a total pumping level (TPL) of 192 inches, 460-volt motor power supply, VSS configuration, and TEFC enclosure type. Standard industrial quality motors are acceptable for this procurement, and the University will evaluate equivalent manufacturer offerings based on detailed specifications submitted by bidders. The equipment will serve as a spare component and will be installed when existing pumps require removal for service or repair.
Regarding delivery and installation, the University indicated that personnel will be available to unload the equipment from delivery vehicles and install the motor on-site without requiring vendor technical guidance or start-up assistance. Bidders should note that motors typically ship separately from pump components, and delivery should include placement at the rear of the truck bed. Bidders wishing to submit alternate manufacturers' equipment must clearly identify the proposed substitution by manufacturer, catalog, model, and stock number, with detailed specifications included to establish equivalency. The University of Wisconsin-Madison maintains sole authority to determine the acceptability of equivalent items proposed by bidders. Questions regarding this solicitation should be directed to Brad Bauman at brad.bauman@wisc.edu, and all bid responses must be submitted online through the ShopUW+ platform at https://bids.sciquest.com/apps/Router/PublicEvent?CustomerOrg=UWisconsin.
