2024/2025 Procurement of Package-Type Pressure Reducing Valve (PRV) Stations

The Town of Telluride Public Works Department is seeking procurement for package-type Pressure Reducing Valve (PRV) stations in Rio Blanco County, Colorado, with a specific project involving replacement and new installation at three locations: Davis Street, Tomboy Road, and Highway 145 at Mill Creek Road. The procurement is for comprehensive PRV station design, fabrication, and delivery, with optional onsite installation that bidders can quote separately. Deliverables include complete PRV systems featuring vaults, valves, piping, and controls, with detailed technical specifications requiring ductile iron pipe, stainless steel piping, specific pressure gauge configurations, and SCADA connections. Key technical requirements include using epoxy-coated components, specific manufacturer standards for flange isolation kits, and pressure gauge assemblies. The proposal submission deadline is November 26, 2024, with proposals to be emailed directly to Tara Ogren, and bidders are instructed not to use BidNet for submission. The procurement includes provisions for one day of start-up services for the Mill Creek PRV, with optional additional service days, and requires bidders to include delivery and offloading costs for the three project sites.

No specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises were explicitly mentioned in the documentation. The project requires bidders to provide two 20-amp breakers for power and ventilation components and include detailed technical specifications for all PRV station elements. While no incumbent vendors were identified, the procurement suggests a comprehensive infrastructure upgrade with modern PRV technology integration. The documentation does not specify a precise budget range or award value, though the technical complexity and multi-site nature of the project implies a significant capital investment. Bidders will need to demonstrate technical proficiency in municipal water infrastructure design, fabrication of pressure reducing valve systems, and ability to meet the precise technical specifications outlined in Addendum No. 1, which provides extensive detail about the project's requirements.
