Secondary Clarifiers, Grit & Building Upgrades

The Town of Hull, Massachusetts, is soliciting sealed bids for the Secondary Clarifiers, Grit, and Building Upgrades project (CWSRF #19112) at the Hull Wastewater Treatment Facility. The base scope of work includes the replacement of secondary clarifier mechanisms and associated pumps, piping, and valves, as well as structural and architectural repairs and improvements to buildings. At the owner's option, additional work may be awarded through four alternates: scum pump replacement, influent wet well H2S coating, exterior building repairs, and grit system replacement. The project is funded in part through the Massachusetts Clean Water Trust's Clean Water State Revolving Fund and requires compliance with EPA and MassDEP/DMS policies, the Davis-Bacon Act, and AIS requirements, though BABA implementation is not required. Bidding is conducted per MGL Chapter 149 s44A-J, with a requirement for 5% bid security for both general and sub-bids. General bidders must hold DCAMM certification for sewage and water treatment plants, while sub-bidders must be certified in specific categories including electrical work, masonry, painting, and HVAC. The project timeline specifies substantial completion within 540 days and final completion within 570 days. Bids are submitted via BidNet or hardcopy, with a non-mandatory pre-bid conference and site visit held on April 15, 2026. The primary point of contact for the procurement is Catherine Joaquim, and the facility is managed by Assistant Director of Wastewater Operations Tom Molinari.
