In Phase 1 of the project, the Town does not plan to directly purchase equipment from the system supplier (Supplier). The selected MABR system will be incorporated into the design specifications for purchase and installation by the Contractor following formal construction bidding of the entire Secondary Treatment System Upgrades Project. The Supplier will be expected to work directly with the Contractor and to provide equipment and services as outlined in the provided project specifications for the MABR equipment (Attachment 3). To aid the Supplier in understanding the scope of work, MABR-specific plans are also included in this RFP (Attachment 4). Services include: installation review, testing, startup, training, providing O&M documentation, and beginning the warranty period. The second phase of MABR installation will occur only pending the Town’s need to increase capacity and will include the purchase and installation of the remaining MABR equipment by a separate contractor. Basic equipment requirements in each phase are included in the proposal form (Attachment 1) with this RFP.
