Packaged Water Treatment Plant Equipment Preselection

City and Borough of Wrangell is seeking a qualified manufacturer to pre‑select and supply a complete packaged water‑treatment plant system (rapid‑mix, flocculation, dissolved‑air‑floatation, and dual‑media filtration) sized for a 2.26 MGD design flow. The supplier must produce detailed shop drawings, provide commissioning and on‑site training, and comply with Buy‑American and American Iron & Steel requirements. The contract will be awarded based on a weighted evaluation that balances cost (present‑worth) and non‑cost criteria, with a fixed‑price structure and a nine‑month price‑lock period. Equipment delivery is required by November 2023, after a spring 2023 award. • Scope includes complete packaged treatment equipment, control panels, instrumentation, and related ancillary items – but excludes civil works, foundations, raw‑water pumps, and chemical‑feed systems. • Supplier must submit sealed bids by 31 Aug 2022, provide a 5 % bid bond, and deliver shop drawings within weeks of award; payment milestones are tied to shop‑drawing approval, equipment delivery, and successful commissioning/training. • Funding comes from USDA Rural Development, EDA, and State of Alaska sources, invoking Buy‑American and AIS requirements; the bid process is non‑mandatory pre‑bid meeting (10 Aug 2022) and no local‑preference will be applied.
