Wastewater Flow Monitoring

The City of Brantford has issued Request for Proposals 2026-79 for the implementation and provision of a temporary wastewater sewer flow monitoring network. The primary objective is to investigate long-term inflow and infiltration sources in prioritized catchment areas, update the City's wastewater hydraulic model using actual flow and precipitation data, and support long-term capital work programs. The selected consultant will be responsible for the entire lifecycle of the flow meters, including equipment selection, supply, installation, maintenance, and removal. Key deliverables include a web-based hosting management system for data access, quarterly event-based analysis reports, and a comprehensive final report. The project is tentatively scheduled for a twelve-month period from January 2027 to January 2028, with the possibility of extensions for up to three additional one-year terms. The award process follows a four-stage evaluation, requiring proponents to meet mandatory submission requirements and achieve a minimum benchmark of 70 points in rated criteria before pricing is scored. Successful proponents must adhere to strict data quality assurance schedules and perform pre-installation surveys to ensure site suitability based on hydraulic and physical parameters. Contractual requirements include comprehensive insurance coverage, including Commercial General Liability of 5 million dollars aggregate and Errors and Omission insurance of 2 million dollars. Additionally, the consultant must maintain WSIB coverage and ensure that the security architecture of the hosting environment is approved by the City of Brantford IT Department. Proposals must be submitted electronically via the City's bidding portal by November 3, 2026.
