Boiler System Replacement at J Ave Water Plant

The City of Cedar Rapids Utilities Department is seeking qualified contractors to remove the existing Weil‑McLain boiler system at the J Avenue Water Treatment Plant and install a new, equivalent boiler system with all associated components (steam lines, expansion tanks, filters, pumps, heaters, etc.). Work must be performed while the plant remains operational, complying with Iowa Statewide Urban Design and Specifications (SUDAS) and all applicable safety, environmental, and licensing regulations. Bids are to be submitted electronically via the City’s E‑Procurement portal; a mandatory pre‑bid meeting on 9/17/2026 is required for all bidders. • Scope includes complete removal of the old boiler, supply and installation of a new boiler and all related piping, tanks, pumps, heaters, and controls. • Contractor must provide all labor, tools, protective equipment, OSHA‑10 certification, and a water‑utility safety orientation for personnel. • All permits (except waived construction permit fees) and waste disposal are the contractor’s responsibility. • Project must be completed within the schedule set by the City; no separate line‑item for installation costs is allowed. • Mandatory pre‑bid meeting attendance is required; non‑attendance results in a non‑responsive bid.
