**As of 02/03/2021, this project has not been awarded yet. A timeline for award has not yet been established. The recoating of the sludge thickeners includes the steel scum baffle, steel rake arm, steel skimmer arm, steel scum trough, steel center baffle, steel center support structure, steel center drive mechanism, steel rake arm support structure and steel catwalk. The two sludge thickeners are 35 feet in diameter with a side wall depth of 10 feet and a bottom slope of 2-3/4 inches per foot. The aluminum domes which cover each sludge thickener are not to be recoated. The major components of steel work associated with the thickeners to be recoated are listed below. However, this list is not inclusive of all the steel work which shall be recoated under this specification as there are several appurtenances, brackets, flapper valves, scrapers and other miscellaneous small items which have not been specifically identified that shall also be recoated. The New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services (NHDES) operates a regional wastewater treatment facility located at 528 River Street, Franklin, NH under its Winnipesaukee River Basin Program (WRBP). The Department is soliciting proposals for recoating the metalwork of two (2) Gravity Thickeners. The Thickeners will not be available for painting until April 1, 2021, provided plant process and weather conditions are favorable and that flow into the plant isn't high because of rain or high ground water levels. The recoating of the metalwork on the gravity Thickeners must be satisfactorily completed on or before June 10, 2021. All inquiries regarding this RFP should be directed to Ken Noyes, 603-934-9924 or Art O'Connell, 603- 934-9925 or (603) 934-4032 the main number for the treatment plant.
