The City of Montpelier Department of Public Works is seeking proposals to prequalify a standard wastewater pump system for potential use across its sewer pump stations.
- **Buyer:** City of Montpelier, Vermont — Department of Public Works; DPW staff will evaluate submissions.
- **OEMs and vendors:** No pump manufacturer, OEM, or vendor is named in the opportunity. Respondents may propose their own system, and the City intends to standardize on one manufacturer.
- **Requested equipment:** Skid-mounted duplex suction-lift wastewater pump systems, skids, and appurtenances. The specified system must handle 3-inch solids and deliver 230 gpm at 25 feet of total dynamic head per pump, with 15 feet of suction lift at 515 feet above mean sea level. It must use 230V, three-phase power, include a variable-frequency drive (VFD) for each motor, and allow either pump to be isolated while the station remains operational. No final purchase quantity is specified; the system is being considered as a basis of design for work across eight sewer pump stations.
- **Proposal details requested:** Describe materials, construction, testing, pump-to-motor interface, seals and wear components, priming, anti-clog and solids-handling features, emergency operation, and available SCADA monitoring and alarms, including any software or subscription needs. Provide capital and life-cycle costs, shipping costs, warranty terms and exclusions, service intervals and costs, useful-life estimates, support locations and capabilities, spare-parts availability, response or mobilization capability, and relevant references.
- **Notable requirements:** Future projects may require Build America, Buy America (BABA/BABAA) and EPA American Iron and Steel (AIS) compliance. Proposals must address applicable restrictions on certain telecommunications and video-surveillance equipment under 2 CFR 200.216. The City intends to visit the manufacturing site during evaluation.
- **Performance period and value:** No contract term or defined performance period is stated; this is a preselection for potential future projects. No contract value is provided.

### Description

The City of Montpelier is seeking proposals for prequalification and vendor selection of wastewater collection suction lift pump systems. The selected equipment or vendor may serve as the basis of design for current and future pump station replacement and rehabilitation projects in the City's wastewater collection system. Vendors are asked to provide details and pricing for a standard skid-mounted duplex suction lift system, including technical specifications, support, warranty, and related features. The City intends to standardize its eight sewer pump stations with the same pump manufacturer, but reserves the right to modify its selection.
