This is a service / maintenance or supply contract in Moncton, New Brunswick. Contact the soliciting agency for additional information.

The City of Moncton's Water and Wastewater Department currently has two (2) water distribution system pumps at the Highfield Pumping Station that require extensive repairs. The Worthington 600 HP 10LN 26 A (Serial #29808) pump is the primary pump which distributes water to approximately nine thousand (9,000) residential and commercial customers (40% of all customers) in Moncton, and supplies a feed to the City of Dieppe. The Worthington 600 HP pump is currently operational, but requires extensive repairs. To complete repairs to this pump, the backup pump, an Allis Chalmers 500HP pump, is required to be placed into operation but is currently out of service; therefore, critical repairs to the Worthington pump are not possible until the Allis Chalmers 500HP pump is repaired and put back into service, which will then allow for repairs to the Worthington 600 HP to be completed. The Highfield Pumping Station has a diesel-operated backup pump that can be used during power outages, but it is a smaller pump, and therefore runs at a higher rate and is not suitable for long-term pumping capacities. The City of Moncton has made several attempts to reach out to Suppliers in New Brunswick to solicit competitive pricing for the repair work specified above; however, only one (1) Supplier (Sansom Equipment Ltd.) has demonstrated their interest in completing this work. With a projected delivery lead time of twenty-one (21) weeks for some of the major repair components, this extends the duration in which the City's pumping capabilities are exposed to possible failures. As such, the City is seeking to have this repair process completed as quickly as possible. The City of Moncton intends to proceed with the bid from Sansom Equipment for the repair of the Worthington 600 HP Pump and Allis Chalmers 500 HP Pump, unless other Suppliers can demonstrate their ability to complete a thorough inspection, prepare a report detailing each pump's repair requirements, complete all required / approved repairs in a timely fashion, and meet the City's operational, functional, and technical requirements. The budget established for all labour, materials, equipment, tools, parts and incidentals required to repair of the Worthington 600 HP Pump is in the range of $100,000 to $125,000, including H.S.T. @ 15%. The budget established for all labour, materials, equipment, tools, parts and incidentals required to repair of the Allis Chalmers 500 HP Pump is in the range of $175,000 to $200,000, including H.S.T. @ 15%.
