Digester Complex Upgrades - Pre-Purchase Gas Purification Scrubbers

The Salt Lake City Department of Public Utilities is seeking qualified vendors to supply a factory-assembled Gas Purification Scrubbers equipment package for the Digester Complex Upgrades Project at the Salt Lake City Water Reclamation Facility, identified as Project No. 524905449. The system is designed to remove hydrogen sulfide from digester gas and must include one duty and one standby media vessel constructed of 316 stainless steel, along with all required piping, valves, work platforms, safety devices, initial pelletized media charge, digital electronic controls, and associated appurtenances. Bidders must be either the manufacturer or an authorized local supplier/distributor with single-source responsibility, and must provide comprehensive documentation including approved shop drawings, QA/QC records, fabrication records, an O&M manual, and full startup services with operator training. The equipment must comply with Section 43 32 59 performance specifications, ASME B31.3 process piping standards, and preferably carry ASME Section VIII Division 1 U and R stamps. All components must be properly packed and labeled, with exposed surfaces protected from corrosion and damage during shipping and handling, and spare parts tagged according to the City’s numbering system. Delivery is required to the facility at 2020 N Redwood Rd, Salt Lake City, UT, with pricing inclusive of all costs including freight, off-loading, labor, training, and insurance. Bids must strictly adhere to mandatory compliance criteria, including proof that the proposed model has operated successfully in comparable U.S. municipal wastewater facilities for over five years, submission of marked-up specifications indicating compliance or deviations, completion of all required exhibits including the Manufacturer Provided Information, Options Price Sheet, References, and Signed City Ethics Statement, and affirmation of guaranteed performance metrics such as a maximum outlet H2S concentration and capability at peak inlet conditions. Non-compliance with any of these pass-fail gates results in immediate disqualification. Evaluation is based on best value, with 60% weight given to lifecycle cost analysis over 25 years using a 3% discount rate, and 40% to non-economic factors including system completeness, support availability, spare parts logistics, and reference feedback. A minimum one-year warranty commences at delivery, but full warranty coverage begins 24 months after startup or 30 months after delivery, whichever comes first, and local service response must be available within 24 hours. The City has waived bonding and insurance requirements due to the low-risk nature
