Here is a comprehensive two-paragraph summary of the state and/or local contracting opportunity:

The Columbus Consolidated Government (City) in Muscogee County, Georgia is seeking bids for an annual contract to provide a comprehensive industrial water treatment management program for the cooling towers, boilers, and water chiller closed loop systems in City-operated buildings. The contract will include, but is not limited to, removal and cleaning of grates, repair of water leaks, prevention of mineral scale, corrosion and bacterial growth, water conservation, technical support, service, equipment repair, and reporting. Interested vendors must submit sealed bids by October 18, 2023 at 2:30 PM Eastern. A non-mandatory site tour is scheduled for October 3, 2023 to allow prospective bidders to inspect the facilities. The current monthly service amount is $1,175.00, covering the same buildings listed in the bid specifications, excluding City Hall. Vendors must provide details on their qualifications, work guarantee, and technical capabilities to meet the City's specifications. Pricing must be submitted on the provided Bid Form, and the contract will be awarded to the lowest responsive, responsible bidder.

This opportunity is open to all qualified contractors, and there are no set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. The City has indicated in an addendum that it will accept the quotes provided and consider the additional equipment costs necessary to address the issues identified during the walkthrough, as the existing water treatment systems are in poor condition and require substantial investment to bring them up to safe and acceptable standards.
