Storage tank cathodic repair, design, testing, reporting and troubleshooting services

The State of New Hampshire, through the Department of Administrative Services' Bureau of Purchase and Property, has issued a Request for Information (RFI) 2024-388 for Underground Storage Tank Cathodic Repair, Design, Testing, Reporting, and Troubleshooting Services. The procurement specifically targets vendors with expertise in comprehensive underground storage tank maintenance and protection services across Merrimack County and Concord City. Key service requirements include conducting tank testing in accordance with NACE standards, generating detailed reports using state-mandated forms, designing cathodic protection systems, and performing system repairs and troubleshooting. Vendors are expected to provide comprehensive pricing for various services such as testing, reporting, system design, repairs, mobilization, and supplemental anode installation. The original bid closing date was set for October 10, 2023, at 2:00 PM; however, an addendum has since been issued canceling the RFI in its entirety, directing potential vendors to check the state's purchasing website for updated information.

While specific set-aside designations or disadvantaged enterprise requirements are not explicitly detailed in the available documentation, the RFI suggests the state is seeking comprehensive vendor capabilities in underground storage tank services. The procurement appears open to qualified vendors with demonstrable experience in cathodic repair and related technical services. No specific incumbent vendors or existing contract information is provided in the documents. The RFI indicates the state's intent to gather market intelligence and potential vendor capabilities to inform a potential future Request for Proposal (RFP), suggesting the procurement is in a preliminary information-gathering phase. Although precise budget ranges are not specified, the detailed service requirements imply a potentially substantial contract opportunity for specialized technical services in underground storage tank maintenance and protection. Vendors are encouraged to provide detailed information about their business capabilities, service offerings, and pricing structures to assist the state in evaluating potential contracting approaches.
