The City of Jacksonville (COJ) intends to purchase a new Emergency Chlorine Scrubber System (Scrubber) for the Land Treatment Site (LTS) located on Fire Tower Rd outside of Jacksonville, NC. This scope of work shall include design, material, equipment, labor, installation, disposal of the existing scrubber, and supervision to install one new Scrubber at an existing site/building. The new Scrubber will replace the existing scrubber on the exterior of an existing chlorine storage building and will provide air cleaning in the event there is a chlorine gas leak on the interior of the building. The building is permitted for the storage of 24,999 lbs. of chlorine gas and contains a chlorine injection system for wastewater treatment. The approximate dimensions of the existing building (exterior) are 24’w X 62’l X 14’h. The approximate dimensions for the existing concrete pad for the Scrubber, which includes perimeter emergency spill walls (~3’ tall), measures 13’-8” X 20’-8”. The existing duct block out allowing access to the interior of the building measures approximately 3’ X 3’. The proposal for this RFP shall include all design, installation, taxes, fees, permits and shipping. All work shall be installed in accordance with Federal, State, and Local laws, codes and other requirements. Site visits are welcome to all that intend to bid this project.
