### Description

<p>The Federal Bureau of Prisons (FBOP) and the Federal Correctional Institution Oxford located at 350 Elk Avenue, Oxford, Wisconsin, intend to make a single award to a responsible entity that will provide all necessary equipment, labor, materials, and incidentals to remove existing water softeners and install a new centralized water softener for the entire Institution.</p>

<p>Awarded Contractor shall provide materials, labor, and equipment to remove existing water softeners, pipe through and install a new centralized water softener and all associated components. FCI Oxford currently has several commercial-grade water softeners which are failing to efficiently reduce water hardness and protect water systems, as well as connected equipment. The new centralized system should improve water quality, minimize calcium buildup, and extend the service life of plumbing infrastructure and appliances. The contractor would place a brine tank and softener to be installed at the water tower. Water would be treated right off the water main, therefore there would be no need for bagged salt to be brought in weekly.</p>
