Specifications include, but are not limited to: The University of Wisconsin-Madison, hereinafter referred to as the “University”, through its Purchasing Services Department, hereinafter referred to as “Purchasing”, on behalf of the Center for Dairy Research, hereinafter referred to as “Department” or "CDR" or "Center", requests proposals for the purchase of a Pasteurizer Hot Water Heating System. CDR is seeking to upgrade its pasteurizer hot water heating system to a new steam heated system that can meet all the required duties listed in this document. We are looking for a company to construct, install (including connecting the utilities and integrate with existing controls), and validate this water heating system, initial checks done with water and finally with the products listed in the required duties document. Items are to be installed at CDR, F.O.B. Destination Installed. Proposal prices must include all packing, freight, insurance, set-up, instruction and operation manual charges, excluding any import/export costs. Items must be set in place and connected to utilities, as applicable, installed in the area designated by University personnel, demonstrated to be in operating condition, and approved by University personnel. All debris must be removed from the University premises and properly disposed of by the Contractor. Upon installation, all operating instructions and operating and maintenance manuals must be furnished to University personnel. Together, the dual hot water heating loops must be capable of indirectly heating whole milk from 38F to 163F while its flowing approximately 5 GPM. Assuming the HTST product feed is steady state (consistent flow and feed temperature), the final product temperature shall not fluctuate more than ±1F per half hour of operation (per attachment G: required heating duties) . Together, the dual hot water heating loops must be capable of indirectly heating cheese milk from 38F to 163F while its flowing approximately 5 GPM. Assuming the HTST product feed is steady state (consistent flow and feed temperature), the final product temperature shall not fluctuate more than ±1F per half hour of operation (per attachment G: required heating duties) . Together, the dual hot water heating loops must be capable of indirectly heating milk blends, not high (<4%) in fat, from 38F to 170F while the blend is flowing approximately 5 GPM. Assuming the HTST product feed is steady state (consistent flow and feed temperature), the final product temperature shall not fluctuate more than ±1F per half hour of operation (per attachment G: required heating duties) . Together, the dual hot water heating loops must be capable of indirectly heating cream for butter from 38F to 189F while its flowing approximately 4 GPM. Assuming the HTST product feed is steady state (consistent flow and feed temperature), the final product temperature shall not fluctuate more than ±1.5F per half hour of operation (per attachment G: required heating duties) . Together, the dual hot water heating loops must be capable of indirectly heating cream cheese mixes from 38F to 175F while the mix is flowing approximately 4 GPM. Assuming the HTST product feed is steady state (consistent flow and feed temperature), the final product temperature shall not fluctuate more than ±1.5F per half hour of operation (per attachment G: required heating duties) . Together, the dual hot water heating loops must be capable of indirectly heating yogurt mixes from 38F to 205F while the mix is flowing approximately 4 GPM. Assuming the HTST product feed is steady state (consistent flow and feed temperature), the final product temperature shall not fluctuate more than ±2F per half hour of operation (per attachment G: required heating duties) . Together, the dual hot water heating loops must be capable of indirectly heating whole milk for raw cheese (not legally pasteurized) from 38F to 159F while its flowing at approximately 5 GPM. Assuming the HTST product feed is steady state (consistent flow and feed temperature), the final product temperature shall not fluctuate more than ±1F per half hour of operation (per attachment G: required heating duties)
