IFB 25-059 SUBMERSIBLE PUMP REPAIR

SCOPE OF WORK

PURPOSE

Mobile Area Water and Sewer System (MAWSS) operates a wastewater collection system, two (2) wastewater

treatment plants, two (2) water treatment plants, and a water distribution system. These operations include the

utilization of various pumps, including wet pit and dry pit submersible pumps (submersible pumps). Through the

course of normal operations, these pumps experience failures and must be removed from service for evaluation

and repair or replacement. This bid document intends to establish an annual contract for the evaluation and repair

of submersible pumps generally of size 11 HP to and including 55 HP (excluding vertical turbine pumps and motors).

MAWSS usually replaces 10 HP or less pumps when they need repair. On occasion, one or more of these smaller

pumps may be repaired under this contract.

This Agreement only applies to the repair of submersible pumps used by MAWSS in submerged applications. The

work herein does not apply to submersible pumps used in dry pit applications. Most MAWSS’ submersible pumps

are used in wastewater applications.

The term “pumps” used herein shall mean only submersible pumps and include both the wet end part of the pump

along with the submersible motor and associated components.

PURCHASE ORDERS

As a result of this bid, Purchase Order(s) shall be issued as needed for evaluation and repair of submersible pumps.

A master agreement with subsequent individual orders shall be used. No work shall commence until the purchase

order has been approved.

QUANTITIES

The exact quantity of items to be evaluated or serviced/repaired cannot be quantified. Repair orders will be used

on an “as needed” basis. The quantities listed in the bid cost proposal are estimated only to provide a basis for

preparing and evaluating the bid and should not be construed as representing actual quantities to be purchased.

Purchase quantities may be none, partial, or more than the items/quantities listed herein.

DELIVERY

The goal of this bid is to provide a streamlined and speedy process for submersible pump repair services. The

awarded bidder shall, within eight (8) working days (MAWSS holidays excluded) of being notified by MAWSS of a

pump in need of repair, perform the following:

A. Load and transport the submersible pump from the MAWSS site to their facility

B. Assessment of the condition of the pump.

C. An evaluation of the work necessary to repair the pump

D. A cost estimate including the associated documents as required herein.

Repairs shall be made within ten (10) working days after receiving a Purchase Order and parts.

IFB 25-059 Submersible Pump Repair Annual Contract

Page 3 of 25

All pumps requiring repair shall be picked up from the MAWSS Lift Station Facility located at Shelton Beach Road or

one of MAWSS’s plants. Once repairs have been completed, the repaired item and all discarded parts from the

repaired item shall be returned to the same location at MAWSS from which it was taken.

Emergency repairs required for urgent requests where the health or safety of the public is at risk shall be completed

within forty-eight (48) hours instead of the ten (10) working days previously mentioned. Failure to communicate or

respond within the time specified for emergency repairs may result in the work being performed by others and /or

termination of this contract.

PRICE

Bidders shall provide bid amounts for the bid unit items listed, which include the repair of pumps and applying

coatings when requested. Price shall include transportation, labor, materials, and testing as defined herein.

Note that MAWSS will furnish parts as requested by the Repair Facility and described in the Technical Specifications.

CONTRACT TERM

This initial contract term shall be for one year (12 months) commencing from the date of execution by both parties.

RENEWAL

The contract shall be renewable two additional times for a period of one year (12 months) for each renewal if agreed

to by both parties. The Contract provisions and pricing must remain unchanged for the renewal periods. This would

provide a maximum contract time of 3 years (36 months) from the commencement of the date of the contract

award.

TERMINATION

MAWSS reserves the right to terminate this contract at the end of the initial, first, or second 12-month renewal

period without reason. MAWSS reserves the right to terminate this contract at any time upon the Repair Facility's

failure to comply with any provision of this Contract.

EXCLUSIVITY

Although MAWSS intends to use the Repair Facility for most of its pump repairs, MAWSS may use other repair

facilities on occasion if MAWSS determines that doing so is in MAWSS's best interest.

This contract does not give the bidder exclusive rights to repair MAWSS pumps.

WARRANTY

All work, materials, and equipment furnished by the Repair Facility shall be guaranteed and warranted by the

vendor/repair facility as specified in the Technical Specifications.

All materials, equipment, and workmanship furnished by the Repair Facility shall be guaranteed by the Repair

Facility to meet MAWSS required standards identified herein and follow the standards set forth by the pump

manufacturer.
