Replace Booster Pump and Motor UW 18

The City of Madison Water Utility has issued a Request for Bids (RFB) 8627-0-2017-JA for the replacement of a booster pump and motor at facility UW 18, located at 1925 South Park Street in Madison, Wisconsin. The procurement seeks a qualified vendor to remove and dispose of existing equipment, perform proper mounting and alignment of new equipment, modify piping connections, and complete installation in accordance with factory specifications. Deliverables include providing a one-piece cast iron or fabricated steel base with drainage collection features, anchor bolts, and foundation drawings, with all work subject to inspection by a factory representative. The Water Utility has already purchased the motor and pump, with expected delivery in June 2017, and requires a standard one-year warranty on all installation work. Bids were originally due on April 17, 2017, but were extended to April 21, 2017, at 2:00 PM CST. Bidders may submit proposals in paper or electronic format (less than 20MB via email) to the City of Madison Purchasing Services. All bid prices must be submitted as all-inclusive, fixed lump-sum amounts covering all direct and indirect costs including labor, materials, travel, and other expenses.

The procurement includes local vendor preference provisions, with potential scoring advantages for registered local suppliers. Contractors employing 15 or more employees and conducting $25,000 or more in annual business with the City must comply with Affirmative Action requirements and file an approved affirmative action plan within 30 days of contract execution. Bidders must submit completed Forms A through E, including a signature affidavit, receipt of forms checklist, vendor profile, cost proposal, and references from at least three previous clients. Insurance requirements include Commercial General Liability of not less than $1,000,000 per occurrence, and workers' compensation coverage. The City reserves the right to accept or reject any or all bids and is exempt from federal excise taxes and state sales taxes. While a specific award value is not explicitly stated, the project involves replacing existing infrastructure at a water utility facility, suggesting a potentially significant but localized contract value. Payment will be processed within 30 days of receipt upon acceptance of completed work, subject to compliance with all specified contractual terms and conditions.
