The procurement seeks a qualified vendor to provide a turnkey water treatment control system capable of continuously monitoring and automatically adjusting the facility's water pH levels using sodium hydroxide injection. The required system includes a wall-mounted analyzer panel with real-time pH and temperature monitoring, a programmable controller, data logging capabilities, and a pre-assembled dual-pump sodium hydroxide injection package, with all components factory-tested and compliant with industrial safety and performance standards. Bidders may request site visits to the facility. The bid solicitation opened on June 25, 2025, at 8:00 AM CDT and closes on July 16, 2025, at 2:00 PM CDT. Vendors must submit comprehensive proposals that include delivery, installation, system integration, startup testing, detailed company information, business history, technical experience, references, and key personnel resumes.

The procurement establishes payment terms at Net 60, allowing the State of Iowa up to 60 days to process invoices following system acceptance and installation. No specific set-aside designations or restrictions on respondent types are explicitly mentioned in the solicitation documentation. While specific budget ranges are not detailed, the comprehensive nature of the system replacement indicates a significant capital investment. Vendor evaluation will focus on technical capabilities, experience with similar industrial water treatment projects, proposed system specifications, pricing structure, and ability to meet the stringent performance and safety requirements specific to a correctional facility water treatment system. The system must integrate with existing water infrastructure at the facility, indicating potential compatibility requirements with current systems.
