Annual Contract for Installation of Granular Activated Carbon

The San Jacinto River Authority (SJRA) is seeking to establish an annual contract with a qualified firm or corporation experienced in the maintenance and replacement of granular activated carbon (GAC) used in water treatment processes. The primary scope involves ongoing maintenance activities, specifically removing used GAC media and replacing it with either newly manufactured or regenerated GAC, as detailed in the scope of work outlined in Exhibit A. The contract aims to ensure continuous and efficient operation of the surface water treatment plant located at 11998 Pine Valley Rd, Conroe, Texas. The solicitation emphasizes the importance of submitting proposals exclusively through the Brazos Valley e-Marketplace System (Ionwave), with proposals and pricing due by June 27, 2025. A mandatory pre-proposal conference and site visit are scheduled for June 12, 2025, at 9:00 a.m. CDT, providing vendors an opportunity to inspect the site and clarify project requirements. The contract is valued between $500,000 and $2,000,000, reflecting the scope's potential scale and duration. The primary point of contact is Kim Robbins, Senior Buyer, who can be reached via email or phone for inquiries. The procurement process involves strict submission protocols, with all questions and proposals to be managed through the Ionwave platform, and no email submissions accepted. This initiative aligns with the agency’s broader efforts to maintain water quality and operational efficiency, requiring vendors to demonstrate relevant experience and compliance with project specifications. The contract's successful execution will support SJRA’s ongoing water treatment operations, ensuring the timely and effective replacement of GAC media to meet water quality standards.
