Tuxedo Park Water Treatment Plant Clearwell Upgrades

The Village of Tuxedo Park is soliciting bids for the Tuxedo Park Water Treatment Plant Clearwell Upgrades, identified as Contract DPW 26-04. The project focuses on increasing disinfection effectiveness through the installation of baffles in two rectangular clearwells to reduce hydraulic short-circuiting. The scope of work includes modifications to influent piping and valves, replacement of effluent valves for complete isolation, and upgrading the chlorine feed system to a flow-paced system featuring an ultrasonic flow meter and updated pump controllers. Additionally, the contractor will perform concrete crack repairs and sealing on a time and materials basis. To maintain operational continuity, the plant must remain online throughout the project, with only one clearwell out of service at a time and a maximum single four-hour shutdown for control program upgrades. The contract will be awarded to the lowest responsible bidder based on price, technical compliance, and demonstrated experience. Performance must begin by April 1, 2027, and be completed by May 17, 2027, within a 45-day window from commencement. Key requirements include compliance with New York State Department of Labor prevailing wage laws, registration under NYS Labor Law 220-i, and the provision of performance, payment, and efficiency guarantee bonds. Bidders must also provide a health and safety plan and certify the implementation of a written sexual harassment prevention policy. Progress payments will be based on a Schedule of Values, requiring an application for payment 20 days prior to the payment date and a signed affidavit for subsequent requests.
