Mobile Belt Filter Press Dewatering System

The City of Galveston is soliciting proposals for the procurement of a Mobile Belt Filter Press Dewatering System for its Main Wastewater Treatment Plant under RFP 26-02. The scope of work includes the provision of the equipment, a two-year maintenance service agreement, and comprehensive on-site services such as installation, startup, training, and performance testing. Technical requirements specify the use of corrosion-resistant materials like 316L stainless steel and NEMA 4X enclosures, with strict adherence to UL labeling, NEMA MG1 motor standards, and AWS welding certifications. Equipment acceptance is contingent upon successful field performance testing to verify sludge cake solids content, solids capture efficiency, and polymer consumption rates. Proposals must be submitted electronically via the City of Galveston online portal by 10:00 a.m. CST on October 29, 2025. Submissions must include a complete package of required documentation, including a pricing proposal and Appendices A through H, which cover conflict of interest, nepotism, non-collusion, and debarment certifications. The City will award the contract based on best value rather than the lowest price, evaluating proposals through a ranking process that may involve negotiations. The City encourages participation from Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE), HUB, women-owned, and minority-owned businesses.
