Chemical Improvements at the Lake Saltonstall Water Treatment Plant

The South Central Connecticut Regional Water Authority is seeking bids for the Chemical Improvements at the Lake Saltonstall Water Treatment Plant project, located in New Haven County, Connecticut. The procurement involves comprehensive chemical system upgrades and infrastructure improvements, including the replacement of the sulfuric acid chemical feed system with a new day tank, metering pumps, and stainless steel piping. Additionally, the project requires replacement of the polymer chemical feed system with new blending units, repurposing of an existing fluoride bulk tank, and installation of a new fluoride bulk tank system complete with transfer pump and fill station. Building improvements are also part of the scope, specifically constructing a new fluoride and polymer containment area with chemical-resistant concrete coating. Bids must be submitted electronically through the agency's E-Bid Portal (www.rwater.com) by October 5, 2021, at 2:00 p.m. local time, with public bid opening immediately following. The solicitation period runs from September 10, 2021, to October 6, 2021, and interested vendors can contact Brent Domkowski at the Regional Water Authority for any questions.

The solicitation does not specify any set-aside designations or restrictions on vendor participation, indicating the bid is open to all qualified vendors. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are mentioned in the documentation. The delivery terms are specified as Free On Board Destination, with vendors allowed to specify their own payment terms. While the solicitation provides extensive technical details about the required chemical system improvements, it does not provide an estimated total project value or budget range. The project appears to be a comprehensive upgrade of chemical feed and storage infrastructure at the Lake Saltonstall Water Treatment Plant, focusing on improving chemical handling systems and containment capabilities. No information is provided about funding sources, potential contract duration, or renewal options. The lack of specific financial details suggests that interested vendors will need to carefully review the technical specifications to develop their bid pricing.
