Mr. Brian A. Perkovich, Executive Director
Title
Authority to advertise Contract 19-721-21 Furnish and Deliver an Automated, Online Water Monitoring System to the O’Brien Water Reclamation Plant, estimated cost $97,000.00, Account 201-50000-634650, Requisition 1514055
Body
Dear Sir:
Contract documents and specifications have been prepared for Contract 19-721-21, Furnish and Deliver an Automated, Online Water Monitoring System to the O’Brien Water Reclamation Plant.
The purpose of this contract is to acquire and install, on a trial basis, an automated online water quality monitoring system, based on an innovative optical technology. The system’s online optical monitoring sensors measure a range of important water quality parameters, such as suspended solids, turbidity, ammonia, BOD, COD and E-coli, on a rapid cycle, with the results reported in approximately 2 to 5 minutes. While these results are currently not accepted by the regulatory agencies, and will not substitute for our current regulatory testing program, they are very important for providing real-time monitoring information to the O’Brien Water Reclamation Plant operators to optimize treatment processes, maximize operational efficiencies and reduce costs.
The estimated cost of this contract is $97,000.00.
The bid deposit for this contract is $4,850.00.
The Multi-Project Labor Agreement, Affirmative Action Ordinance, Revised Appendix D, and Appendix V are not applicable to this contract because it is a furnish and deliver contract.
The tentative schedule for this contract is as follows:
Advertise June 26, 2019
Bid Opening July 16, 2019
Award August 8, 2019
Completion December 31, 2019
Funds are available in Account 201-50000-634650.
In view of the foregoing, it is recommended that the Director of Procurement and Materials Management be authorized to advertise Contract 19-721-21.
