706- PCI Water Treatment Plant UV replacement

Pickaway Correctional Institution, an Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction facility located in Ross County, is procuring the replacement of an ultraviolet (UV) disinfection system at its on-site wastewater treatment plant. The current UV system has reached the end of its operational life and must be replaced to maintain compliance with Ohio Environmental Protection Agency requirements. The project involves the supply and installation of a new UV disinfection system that will enable the facility's wastewater treatment plant to continue operating effectively and meeting all applicable regulatory standards. The primary objective is to ensure the replacement system is fully operational no later than May 1, 2026, making this a time-sensitive procurement. The solicitation was posted on March 2, 2026, with a proposal due date of March 17, 2026, providing potential bidders with 15 days to develop and submit their responses. While specific technical specifications and detailed requirements are contained in the Scope of Work document (PCI WWTP UV SOW.pdf), the accessible summaries indicate that vendors must demonstrate the capability to procure, install, test, and commission the new UV system within the compressed timeline. No specific evaluation criteria, site visit schedules, or pre-bid conference information is detailed in the available documentation.
