Chemical Improvements at the Lake Whitney Water Treatment Plant

The South Central Connecticut Regional Water Authority is seeking bids for Chemical Improvements at the Lake Whitney Water Treatment Plant through Solicitation #27102, which is located in New Haven County, Connecticut. The project encompasses a comprehensive upgrade of chemical feed systems, including the replacement of the sodium hydroxide (caustic) chemical feed system and installation of a new potassium permanganate chemical feed system. Specific deliverables include replacing bulk tanks, day tanks, transfer pumps, metering pumps, piping, valves, and instrumentation for both chemical systems. The procurement also involves demolition of existing potassium permanganate equipment and multiple building improvements such as door replacement, new fiberglass platforms and stairs, installation of tempered water systems, safety shower eye wash stations, a new dust collection system, powered lift table, concrete landing, chemical resistant coatings, and miscellaneous electrical improvements. The bid period opens on December 16, 2024, at 12:00 PM EST and closes on January 22, 2025, at 2:00 PM EST, with Brent Domkowski serving as the primary contact at the Regional Water Authority. Bidders will have access to Project Drawings and a Project Manual to support their proposal preparation.

The solicitation appears to be open to all vendors without specific set-aside designations or restrictions on organizational types. No incumbent vendors are explicitly identified in the documentation, and there are no stated preferences for disadvantaged business enterprises. The procurement follows Free On Board Destination delivery terms with vendor-specified payment terms. While no estimated total project value is disclosed in the solicitation documents, the comprehensive nature of the chemical feed system upgrades and associated building improvements suggests a significant capital investment. The project will require vendors with specialized expertise in water treatment facility chemical system installations, safety infrastructure improvements, and electrical system modifications. Supporting documentation, including Project Drawings and the Project Manual, indicates the complexity of the project and the need for contractors with advanced technical capabilities in water treatment plant engineering and infrastructure renovation. Potential bidders should carefully review the detailed specifications to understand the full scope of work and technical requirements for this chemical improvements project.
