Large Water Meter Testing

The City of Norwich, Connecticut, located in New London County, has issued a Request for Proposal (RFP) numbered 24-24 for Large Water Meter Testing services. The primary objective is to secure a qualified contractor to comprehensively field test and repair water meters that are two inches and larger, specifically encompassing both small meters (4" and smaller) and large meters (4" and larger), with all testing to be conducted in-situ. The solicitation requires a contractor capable of performing detailed meter testing and repair services across the municipal water infrastructure. The RFP was released on January 22, 2024, and proposals will be accepted until February 22, 2024, at 2:00 PM EST, with all submissions to be directed to Robert Castronova, the designated contact at the City of Norwich, located at 100 Broadway Room 105, Norwich, CT 06360. Vendors can reach Castronova at 860-823-3770 or rcastronova@cityofnorwich.org for any questions regarding the solicitation. The delivery terms are specified as Free On Board Destination, with payment terms to be vendor-specified, and the solicitation is open to all vendors.

No specific set-aside designations, vendor restrictions, or preferences for disadvantaged enterprises are mentioned in the documentation. The RFP does not identify any incumbent vendors or provide details about existing water meter infrastructure that might require integration. There are no disclosed budget ranges or estimated total contract values in the solicitation documents. The absence of line items and specific financial parameters suggests a flexible procurement approach that will likely evaluate proposals based on technical capabilities, experience in water meter testing, and the vendor's proposed methodology for conducting in-situ meter testing and repairs. Interested vendors are expected to submit comprehensive proposals that demonstrate their technical expertise, capacity to perform large and small meter testing, and ability to meet the City of Norwich's water meter maintenance requirements.
