BUYER is requesting Bids from interested manufacturers, vendors, or suppliers to furnish all components required to provide complete and operable Switchboards, associated work items, warranty, and spare parts for the Ashland Water Resource Recovery Facility (WRRF). BUYER intends to enter into an Agreement with the Bidder of the selected System that will allow BUYER to brand name specify the System in the construction contract it intends to award in 2024 to a construction contractor through a competitive Bid. This process allows BUYER to: 1. Select the Vendor such that final design can be completed around one Vendor as each vendors equipment offers differing installation requirements for piping, electrical, control, mounting, dimensions for structures, etc., thus providing the construction contractor with a better defined project equating to a more competitive Bid for BUYER. 2. Establish fixed and known cost of the equipment through competitive proposal. 3. Establish an agreement with a Vendor that will start during design and last though the warranty period. 4. Provide a mechanism to authorize a Vendor to begin working with BUYER and its Engineer to provide shop drawings and assistance during design. Provide Vendor an opportunity to work closely with the Construction Contract Bidders during the Bid process to provide a clear understanding of the equipment being provided and the installation requirements. 5. Having shop drawings, submittal, and equipment specifications completed in parallel to bidding the construction project will reduce lead times of equipment delivery. 6. Establish future maintenance and operating cost for a given time period so that BUYER may better forecast expenses. The Bid must be accompanied by Bid security made payable to BUYER in an amount of 5% of the Bidders maximum Bid price. The City of Ashland reserves the right to reject any or all Bids, to waive any technicality, and to accept any Bid which it deems advantageous. All Bids shall remain subject to acceptance for 90 days after the time set for receiving Bids. Question Deadline 08/09/2024 All questions about the meaning or intent of the Bidding Documents are to be submitted to ENGINEER in writing.
