Nanofiltration/Reverse Osmosis Pilot Study RFP

Lowndes County Board of Commissioners is requesting proposals from qualified companies for a 3-month nanofiltration/reverse osmosis pilot study for the Alapaha Plantation Subdivision Water Treatment System. The purpose of the pilot study is to evaluate nanofiltration/reverse osmosis technology for achieving compliance with Stage 2 Disinfection Byproduct Rules (2 DBPR). The selected company will provide a 10+ gpm standalone PLC controlled pilot unit with remote access and control, automatic data logging, CIP cleaning system, and chemical dosing systems. The company will also provide onsite system startup, operator training, monthly maintenance/calibration visits, and data sheets for the operator. Proposals will be evaluated based on the company's experience with nanofiltration/reverse osmosis technology for 2 DBPR compliance, the ability for Lowndes County personnel to visit a full-scale facility using the company's equipment, the functionality and operability of the pilot unit, and the cost for the pilot study. Sealed cost proposals are due by 4:00 PM on November 28, 2023.

The RFP does not indicate any set-asides or preferences for specific types of organizations. No incumbent contractor is identified. The funding for the pilot study will be provided through the Lowndes County Board of Commissioners' annual operating budget, but the specific budget amount is not disclosed.
