DOJ - Water treatment services - MRAS

The General Services Administration (GSA) is conducting market research on behalf of the Department of Justice (DOJ) to identify potential contractors for a water treatment services contract at the Federal Bureau of Prisons' Federal Medical Center (FMC) in Devens, Massachusetts. This initiative aims to ensure that FMC Devens maintains optimal operational efficiency and compliance with health and safety standards through effective water treatment solutions. The overarching goal is to secure a firm-fixed price contract that guarantees consistent and reliable water treatment services, thereby supporting the facility's infrastructure and operational needs.

The scope of work for this contract involves providing comprehensive process water treatment products and services. This includes supplying all necessary water treatment chemicals, test kits, testing reagents, and related equipment required for normal operations at FMC Devens. The contractor will be responsible for delivering both laboratory and field services to adequately supervise the water treatment program. Additionally, the contractor must provide immediate written notification to FMC Devens in case any issues arise during service delivery to minimize service interruptions.

Key systems requiring service under this contract include three Donlee Boilers, three Trane Chillers, one Trane Cooling Tower, one Hot Water Loop, one Chilled Water Loop, and one Well/McClain boiler located in the warehouse. The contractor is expected to conduct routine monthly visits by a qualified representative to prevent potential problems that could affect equipment efficiency or cause damage. These visits must be scheduled in advance with coordination from the General Foreman at FMC Devens during normal working hours.

In addition to routine maintenance services, the contractor must also provide emergency response capabilities with a response time not exceeding four hours after notification on the same day. During each visit for in-plant testing and analysis related to boiler/cooling chemical treatments, a primary service representative will spend at least one hour onsite performing essential tasks such as collecting samples for field analysis, evaluating performance treatments used in the program, checking quality of field testing reagents, reviewing test results/records from plant operations, calibrating tower inhibitor controllers, and conducting dissolved oxygen tests onsite.
