Onondaga County's Division of Purchase is seeking a contractor to perform a Crane Monorail Replacement & Hoist Install project at the Camillus Pumpstation, with a Request for Bid (RFB) released on September 3, 2024. The procurement involves removing the existing monorail system and replacing it with a new patented track monorail system, including installation of a previously purchased Yale air-operated hoist (model E13MDNS096X0B). The project requires precise engineering specifications, including direct ceiling mounting of the monorail and comprehensive testing and commissioning procedures. A mandatory pre-bid meeting is scheduled for September 10, 2024, at 10:00 am, with bids due on September 24, 2024, at 2:00 PM. The contract term will commence on October 1, 2024, with a project timeline of 120 days from purchase order and drawing approval, and will require a 5% bid security and 100% performance security bond.

The procurement includes significant Minority and Women-owned Business Enterprise (MWBE) requirements, with mandated participation goals of 18% MBE, 12% WBE, and 30% combined MBE/WBE utilization. Workforce participation goals are set at 18% minority and 12% women employees. Potential project funding sources include NYSDEC Clean Water/Clean Air Bond Act, USEPA grants, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, and other government financing mechanisms. Prevailing wage rates will apply to the project. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the comprehensive technical specifications and multiple potential funding sources suggest a significant capital investment. The project involves specialized material handling infrastructure with precise engineering requirements, indicating that bidders will need advanced technical capabilities, experience with municipal water infrastructure projects, and the ability to meet strict MWBE and workforce diversity standards.
