Blue River Wastewater Treatment Plant Centrifuge Replacement Project

The Blue River Wastewater Treatment Plant Centrifuge Replacement Project is a municipal infrastructure procurement issued by the Silverthorne Dillon Joint Sewer Authority (JSA) in Summit County, Colorado. The contract involves comprehensive wastewater treatment plant upgrades, specifically focusing on the installation of two owner-procured centrifuges and associated systems. Key deliverables include furnishing labor and equipment for centrifuge installation, implementing associated piping, structural elements, electrical systems, instrumentation and controls (I & C), and miscellaneous improvements. The project requires specialized engineering and construction expertise to integrate new infrastructure while maintaining continuous wastewater treatment plant operations. The bid submission deadline is July 18, 2023, at 2:00 PM, with an electronic PDF submission process to BRWTP@silverthorne.org. A pre-bid conference was scheduled for June 29, 2023, at 10:00 AM, and the project timeline includes substantial completion by October 6, 2023, and final completion by November 3, 2023. Contractors must provide a 5% bid security and demonstrate capability to meet strict milestone requirements with potential liquidated damages ranging from $1,000 to $10,000 per day for missed project deadlines.

The contract does not explicitly specify set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. The total project budget is approximately $734,800 for the base bid, with optional additions including a three-year extended warranty for $34,650 and a 120-day price validity extension for $14,700. Payment terms are structured as 30% with order, 60% upon shipment, and 10% after startup, not exceeding 90 days after shipment. The project will be funded by the Silverthorne Dillon Joint Sewer Authority and requires contractors to coordinate construction schedules carefully to maintain continuous wastewater treatment plant operations. The existing infrastructure includes the Blue River Wastewater Treatment Plant, with new centrifuges requiring precise integration into the current system. Contractors must adhere to specific demolition and installation timelines for two centrifuges, with milestone dates between August and October 2023. The project represents a significant municipal investment in modernizing wastewater treatment infrastructure, likely aimed at improving operational efficiency and meeting updated environmental standards.
