As requested by the Water Division , the Collier County Board of County Commissioners Procurement Services Division has issued this Invitation to Bid with the intent of obtaining bid submittals from interested and qualified vendors in accordance with the terms, conditions and specifications stated or attached. The vendor, at a minimum, must achieve the requirements of the Specifications or Scope of Work stated. The results of this solicitation may be used by other County departments once awarded according to the Board of County Commissioners Procurement Ordinance. Media has become fouled and aged and needs to be replaced to maintain an optimized treatment process. Historically, County departments have spent approximately $300,000 annually related to this process; however, this may not be indicative of future buying patterns. Raw water from the well field contains entrapped hydrogen sulfide gas (H2S) and during treatment carbon dioxide gas (CO2) is released from the chemical breakdown of dissolved calcium bicarbonate. For improved water quality, these gases need to be removed during the water production process. Tower packing is a critical component of dissolved gas removal and odor control during the treatment and production of drinking water. The existing packing has become fouled and aged and needs to be replaced to maintain an optimized treatment process and to prevent degraded water quality. Packing material is a hollow, geometrical shape constructed of a network of ribs, struts and drip rods for the purpose of providing increased surface area to enhance mass transfer through air-stripping (degasification) and scrubbing (odor control). Collier County Public Utilities operates sixteen towers at the South Collier Regional Water Treatment Plant (SCRWTP) utilizing 1,600 ft3 per tower, or 25,600 ft3 total, and twelve towers at the North Collier Regional Water Treatment Plant (NCRWTP) utilizing eight at 600 ft3 and four at 1,800 ft3 for a total of 12,000 ft3. Each location utilizes NSF 61 certified tower packing in the towers. Contract duration: 1 year
