The City of St. Petersburg is procuring two Siemens SITRANS flow meter transmitters and compatible coupling accessories for the Southwest Water Reclamation Facility. This procurement aims to replace obsolete equipment in two influent pipelines, specifically one 20-inch and one 30-inch pipe, to improve measurement accuracy, reliability, and long-term maintainability. A sales quote from Gilson Engineering Sales for Siemens SITRANS FM520 and FMS520 magnetic flowmeters, including grounding rings and potting kits, totals $43,201.00 with an estimated lead time of 7-8 weeks. The solicitation, identified as Quote-26-313, requires proposals to be submitted by September 1, 2026. The contract is governed by municipal agreements for the City of St. Petersburg, including provisions for light construction and goods purchase. Key requirements include a one-year warranty on workmanship and materials, mandatory insurance coverage with a minimum of $1,000,000 for general and automobile liability, and compliance with Small Business Enterprise (SBE) participation goals.
