Bid Notice-Turbo Blower No. 6 Project.pdf

This is a Bid Notice for the Turbo Blower No. 6 Project issued by the City of Bend, Oregon for the Bend Water Reclamation Facility. The project requires the furnishing, installation, and commissioning of a sixth 400-horsepower dual-core APG-Neuros turbo blower in Blower Building 32B. The facility was originally designed with reserved space for this additional blower as part of planned future expansion. Current operational demands have increased significantly, with all five existing APG-Neuros turbo blowers now operating simultaneously during peak periods to meet process air requirements. The addition of the sixth blower is necessary to address anticipated continued increases in influent loadings over the next two years and to restore adequate operational redundancy and aeration capacity.

The bid notice establishes the procurement timeline and technical requirements for qualified bidders to submit proposals for this equipment installation project. Interested contractors should review the complete scope of work, technical specifications, and contract terms outlined in the bid documents. Prospective bidders are encouraged to attend any scheduled pre-bid meetings or site visits to familiarize themselves with existing equipment, building conditions, and installation requirements. All proposals must be submitted by the specified deadline to be considered for award. The successful bidder will be responsible for complete project delivery, including equipment procurement, site installation, system integration with existing blowers, and operational commissioning to ensure the new turbo blower functions properly within the facility's aeration system.
