Existing Control Panel.jpg

This image file documents an existing control panel at the Fort Dodge Correctional Facility in Iowa, which the State is seeking to replace through a Request for Bids (RFB). The procurement solicitation requires a qualified vendor to provide a turnkey water treatment control system that continuously monitors and automatically adjusts the facility's water pH levels using sodium hydroxide injection. The system must include a wall-mounted analyzer panel with real-time pH and temperature monitoring capabilities, a programmable controller, data logging functionality, and a pre-assembled dual-pump sodium hydroxide injection package. Bidding began with an opening date of 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 current facility conditions and infrastructure compatibility requirements.

Vendors must submit comprehensive pricing that covers delivery, installation, system integration, and startup testing, with all components factory-tested and compliant with industrial safety and performance standards. Payment terms are established at 0% 0, Net 60, allowing the State of Iowa up to 60 days to process invoices following system acceptance and installation. Bidders must provide detailed company information, including business history, technical experience, references, and key personnel resumes for evaluation consideration. The procurement is not restricted to specific respondent types, and no set-aside designations are explicitly mentioned in the documentation. Vendors will be evaluated primarily on technical capabilities, experience with similar industrial water treatment projects, proposed system specifications, pricing competitiveness, and demonstrated ability to meet the stringent performance and safety requirements applicable to correctional facility water treatment systems.
