This is a service / maintenance or supply contract in Cincinnati, Ohio. Contact the soliciting agency for additional information.

SCOPE OF SERVICES A general outline of work required is provided in this RFQ. It is not intended to be all-inclusive, as a detailed scope of work will be developed during negotiations with the selected firm. Several of the projects currently identified include: 1.Investigate alternative Plant Model interfaces, simulation strategies and software. 2.Mill Creek WWTP Process Model Operator Interface: Develop a WWTP Simulator, also known as an Operations Tool and/or Operator Interface, of the Mill Creek WWTP. It is expected that this will be based on a completed process model developed using GPS X(TM) and the SimuWorks(TM) platform. 3.The simulator shall be customized for the Mill Creek WWTP and shall have the same general interface as the operator interface developed recently for MSDGC's other six WWTPs. Development of the simulator may require working with Hydromantis to customize the interface. The exact interface selected may change based on any evaluations performed. 4.WWTP Process and Hydraulic Models Update: Update the existing GPS-X process model, SimuWorks simulator, and hydraulic model for the WWTPs to reflect construction; Produce plant process models for the proposed HRTs at the three major plants. 5. Update plant process models and Simulators for construction of the HRTs at the three major plants or other plants as needed. 6.Other model updates, enhancements, simulations, and support: Other projects may include updating GPS-X and SimuWorks process models and/or hydraulic models to reflect physical and/or operational changes of the WWTPs; enhancing the models by performing additional sampling/testing and refining the models based on those results; using the models to perform simulations to evaluate various scenarios such as changes to influent waste streams, changes to WWTP operation, and strategies for wet weather operation and plant optimization; assisting MSDGC with regulatory submissions such as the Phosphorous Removal Financial Capability Analysis; and other support such as providing basic and advanced modeling instruction to MSDGC engineers and operators. 7.Updates to process models to include sludge production and energy usage. Evaluation of what-if scenarios to reduce costs. Other process items that effect cost. 8.Other plant hydraulic or process modeling or applications, including but not limited to planning, construction, what-if analysis, costs, training, and customization. The anticipated term of the contract resulting from this RFQ is five (5) years with two (2) optional one-year extensions.The method of Contractor Selection has not been Determined at this time.
