The procurement requires a turnkey water treatment control system that can continuously monitor and automatically adjust the facility's water pH levels using sodium hydroxide injection. Specific system requirements include a wall-mounted analyzer panel with real-time pH and temperature monitoring, a programmable controller, data logging capabilities, and a pre-assembled dual-pump sodium hydroxide injection package. The bid solicitation requires vendors to provide comprehensive pricing covering delivery, installation, system integration, and startup testing, with all components factory-tested and compliant with industrial safety and performance standards. Bidders must submit detailed company information, including business history, technical experience, references, and key personnel resumes. The bid will open on 6/25/2025 at 8:00 AM CDT and close on 7/16/2025 at 2:00 PM CDT, with potential site visits available upon request. Commodity codes associated with this procurement include water treatment controls, complete water treatment systems, and related water treatment equipment and services.

The procurement documents do not explicitly mention specific set-aside designations or restrictions on respondent types, such as disadvantaged business enterprises. Payment terms are established at 0% 0, Net 60, allowing the State of Iowa up to 60 days to process invoices after system acceptance and installation. While specific budget ranges are not detailed in the provided documentation, the comprehensive nature of the system replacement suggests a significant capital investment in upgrading the correctional facility's water treatment infrastructure. The solicitation indicates that the system must integrate with existing water systems, implying potential compatibility requirements with current facility infrastructure. Vendors will likely be evaluated on their technical capabilities, experience with similar industrial water treatment projects, proposed system specifications, pricing structure, and ability to meet the stringent performance and safety requirements of a correctional facility water treatment system.
