Engine 2 Minor Overhaul Project

The Madison Metropolitan Sewerage District (MMSD) is seeking sealed bids for the Engine 2 Minor Overhaul Project, located at the Nine Springs Wastewater Treatment Plant in Madison, Wisconsin. The procurement involves a comprehensive minor topside overhaul of a 1991 Waukesha L7042GU 12-cylinder biogas engine in Sludge Control Building 2. Specific project deliverables include removing and rebuilding existing cylinder heads, installing customer-owned cylinder heads, inspecting cylinder sleeves and pistons, and installing new seals, gaskets, and O-rings. Prequalification applications are due by February 24, 2025, with sealed bids accepted until 10:00 A.M. CST on March 6, 2025, at the district office. The project requires a 5% bid bond, comprehensive insurance coverage ($2 million general liability and $2 million umbrella), and all replacement parts must be new Waukesha OEM parts. The Notice to Proceed is anticipated for March 28, 2025, with final completion required within 150 calendar days. Contractors must coordinate work during typical hours of 7:00 AM to 3:30 PM and minimize operational impacts to the treatment plant.

The contract does not specify specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Contractors must provide a one-year warranty covering materials and installation, including startup assistance with a minimum one-day on-site service technician. Liquidated damages of $500 per calendar day will be applied for delays beyond the completion date. While no specific budget range is disclosed, the project involves significant technical complexity and requires specialized expertise in biogas engine maintenance. All work is tax-exempt, as the Madison Metropolitan Sewerage District is exempt from Wisconsin state sales and use taxes. Interested bidders can obtain additional information and specifications by visiting the district's website at https://www.madsewer.org/contracting-center/ or by contacting Erik Rehr, Maintenance and Reliability Manager, at 608-709-1833 or rfp@madsewer.org.
