Beach Water Filtration System

Dane County's Department of Land and Water Resources is seeking to procure a skid-mounted water filtration system through Request for Bid #2023-RFB-061PR for McDaniel Beach. The system must be precisely engineered to fit through a 6-foot wide double doorway and delivered to 4806 McDaniel Lane, McFarland, Wisconsin by May 26, 2023. Specific technical requirements include detailed specifications for mechanical equipment, electrical components, and schematics, with components expected from manufacturers like Gorman Rupp, Baldor, Eaton, Keystone, Pentair Water, and Atlantic Ultraviolet. The county will evaluate bids based on the lowest responsible responsive bidder, considering factors such as cost, past performance, service reputation, and overall value. Key bid dates include a vendor question deadline of April 3, 2023, and a final response deadline of April 10, 2023, at 2:00 pm. Bidders must provide comprehensive documentation demonstrating compliance with technical specifications and system performance requirements.

The procurement opportunity includes local vendor preference provisions, potentially providing advantages for Dane County-made, regionally-made, or Wisconsin-made goods. Vendors must comply with fair labor practices and non-discrimination requirements, and provide comprehensive insurance coverage including commercial general liability, automobile liability, environmental impairment liability, and workers' compensation. While a specific budget range is not explicitly stated, the detailed technical specifications suggest a significant capital investment for a sophisticated water filtration system. The county reserves the right to accept or reject any bid, indicating flexibility in the procurement process. No incumbent vendors are specifically mentioned, and the procurement appears to be for a new installation rather than a replacement or upgrade of existing infrastructure. Potential bidders must demonstrate technical capability, compliance with detailed system requirements, and the ability to deliver a fully functional water filtration system meeting Dane County's precise specifications.
