Tiffin Developmental Center RPZ Backflow devices

This solicitation is for the delivery and installation of two 8-inch Reduced Pressure Zone (RPZ) Assemblies with open stem and yoke valves, and two above-ground RPZ enclosures at the Tiffin Developmental Center (TDC), an Intermediate Care Facility for Individuals with Intellectual Disabilities (ICF/IID) operated by the Ohio Department of Developmental Disabilities (DODD). The Request for Quotation (RFQ) is issued by the TDC, with the submission deadline set for February 12, 2024, by 3:00 PM. A mandatory site visit is scheduled for January 25, 2024. The contract will be awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, and the successful contractor must be qualified with all plumbing backflow credentials. The RPZ assemblies must be approved and signed off by local Aqua officials, as the current backflow assemblies no longer meet the functional requirements. Work on the project cannot commence prior to April 1, 2024.

The solicitation is open to all qualified bidders, and there are no set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. The RFQ does not specify an incumbent vendor or current contractor, nor does it provide any information on existing infrastructure or technology that requires integration. The RFQ also does not include any information on the possible award value or budget range for this project.
