The State of Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) is seeking a procurement for a Hydromatic Grinder Pump to be delivered to Caesar Creek State Park in Warren County, Ohio. The specific procurement involves acquiring one HPGHX500CD Hydromatic Grinder Pump with precise specifications: 5HP, 3450RPM, 230/1/60 electrical configuration, 35' cord length, and a 6.25" impeller. The procurement is designed to replace deteriorating pumps currently in operation at the park, with delivery required to 8570 E State Route 73, Waynesville, OH 45068.

The bid response is due by December 13, 2024, with a preferred completion/delivery date of "as soon as possible." Potential bidders are strongly encouraged to conduct a site visit prior to submitting their proposal, and failure to do so will not be considered a valid reason to withdraw from the contract if awarded.
