Formalin Treatment system

The state and local contract opportunity involves the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife (ODFW) procuring a comprehensive Formalin Treatment system for the Willamette Hatchery, located in Lane County. The procurement specifically requires a contractor to design, deliver, install, and calibrate a new chemical treatment system for fish egg treatments, with precise technical specifications for chemical delivery rates between 1:600 to 1:400. Key deliverables include equipment procurement, complete installation, system calibration, testing, and staff training, with a detailed project schedule mandating equipment delivery by March 7, 2025, installation completion by March 28, 2025, calibration and testing by April 11, 2025, and final training and handover by May 1, 2025. The contract requires the selected vendor to provide all necessary equipment, labor, and technical expertise while ensuring compliance with safety and operational guidelines. The proposal submission deadline is March 13, 2025, with the contract effective from the date of execution and terminating on May 1, 2025.

The contract does not explicitly specify set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. The maximum compensation for the project is $23,879.00, with payments contingent upon satisfactory completion of project milestones and verification by ODFW. The contractor must maintain comprehensive insurance coverage, including workers' compensation and commercial general liability insurance, with specific requirements for additional insured status. While no incumbent vendor is mentioned, the project represents a technology upgrade to replace the current chemical delivery system with a more accurate and reliable solution. The contract emphasizes the need for precise equipment installation and integration with existing hatchery infrastructure, suggesting that technical competence and proven experience in chemical treatment systems will be critical evaluation criteria for potential contractors.
