Purchase of Twelve (12) 8" Pressure/Vacuum Relief Valves

This state and local contracting opportunity is for the purchase of twelve (12) 8-inch pressure/vacuum relief valves for the Massachusetts Water Resources Authority (MWRA), which serves customers in Suffolk County and the city of Woburn. The technical specifications outline the construction, service conditions, and instrumentation requirements for the valves, which are needed for a sodium hypochlorite and sodium bisulfite tank venting system.

The contract will be awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, with bids due by 11:30 AM on July 6, 2011. The MWRA has issued an addendum clarifying technical requirements, such as the use of Hastelloy studs rather than stainless steel.

While the solicitation document does not provide details on any set-aside designations, incumbent vendors, or budget ranges, it does note that the MWRA is exempt from state and federal taxes, and the successful vendor must comply with the Authority's Environmentally Preferable Purchasing Policy.
