Wastewater Treatment Plant Gate Replacement

The City of Keene is seeking to replace six manually operated gates at the Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) that are used to divert wastewater into different units of the biological treatment process, and two gates that are used to isolate two aerated grit chambers. The gates are original to the plant and are at the end of their useful life. The project involves the pre-purchase of gate equipment, with construction services to be bid separately. The City received two bids for the project, but decided to reject all bids and rebid the project due to concerns about the bid specification and the competitive disadvantage it may have put one of the bidders at. • The project involves the replacement of eight gates at the WWTP. • The gates are original to the plant and are at the end of their useful life. • The project involves the pre-purchase of gate equipment, with construction services to be bid separately. • The City received two bids for the project, but decided to reject all bids and rebid the project. • The City is seeking to ensure that all bidders have a fair and equal opportunity to bid on the project.
