Maintenance for UV System at Kamas Fish Hatchery

The State of Utah's Division of Wildlife Resources and Division of Purchasing issued an Invitation for Bid (Solicitation #AS20-168) for maintenance services of the UV System at the Kamas Fish Hatchery. The procurement specifically targets maintenance of three forty-bulb vessel units (Model JS00073-100 2300 GPM reactor) with a comprehensive five-year contract term. Maintenance is required in years 1, 3, and 5, involving replacement of critical components such as wiper rings, holders, gaskets, lamps, sleeves, bearings, gears, ballasts, and LED lights. The contractor must have a minimum of 5 years of experience working with UV vessel units and is required to use only DeNora parts (previously Severn Trent). Key deliverables include comprehensive maintenance and repair services, with each UV unit requiring complete disassembly and servicing every two years. The bid was opened on 5/8/2020 and closed on 5/22/2020, with Western States Engineering LLC ultimately being awarded the contract.

No specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises were explicitly mentioned in the procurement documents. The UV system can operate in both auto and manual modes and includes an auto wiper system for sleeve cleaning. The contractor is responsible for purchasing all required parts and performing maintenance, with provisions for additional repairs at an hourly rate beyond the original scope. While a specific budget range was not detailed, the contract involves purchasing replacement parts and performing technical maintenance services for the UV system. The procurement appears to be a standard competitive bid process focused on technical maintenance capabilities, with the primary evaluation criteria seemingly centered on technical expertise, part availability, and lowest responsive bid pricing.
