About this opportunity

The Town of Manchester Water Department is seeking bids for the rehabilitation and media replacement of Filter #1 at the Globe Hollow Water Treatment Facility located in Hartford County, Connecticut. The project involves a comprehensive retrofit of an existing automatic backwash dual media filter, including replacing porous plates, hardware, saddles, and filter media with 5.5 inches of sand and 11 inches of Granular Activated Carbon. Contractors must have a minimum of 5 years of experience and demonstrate successful completion of two similar projects within the past 5 years. The project requires furnishing and installing new backwash and washwater pumps, with strict working constraints including Monday through Friday hours from 7:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., and seasonal restrictions prohibiting work from May 20th through September 30th. The bid was released on January 26, 2024, with a mandatory pre-bid meeting held on February 7, 2024, and the response deadline set for February 22, 2024, at 11:00 a.m., with bids to be submitted electronically through the Town of Manchester's procurement portal.

The contract includes specific living wage requirements, with current rates of $16.59 per hour for employees with comprehensive health care benefits or $24.59 per hour for those without. A performance bond equal to 10% of the contract price is required, along with various insurance coverages including commercial general liability and workers' compensation. Bidders must complete a Living Wage Certification Form, with potential exemptions for nonprofits, employers with fewer than 25 employees, or contracts valued under $25,000. The activated carbon specified must be Filtrasorb 820 from Calgon Carbon Corporation, manufactured in the United States from North American coal, with specific technical requirements. While a specific budget range is not explicitly stated, the project involves detailed technical specifications and comprehensive infrastructure upgrades. The contractor will be responsible for media testing, installation, disinfection, and ensuring the filter meets all bacteriological and performance standards within a 90-day completion window from the Notice to Proceed.
