DESCRIPTION/BACKGROUND:
This item requests approval for the installation of Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC)-coated polyester curtains at the Biosolids Building located within the Marion County Utilities (MCU) Southwest Regional Water Reclamation Facility. The project is intended to address ongoing concerns from nearby residents related to odors and mechanical noise generated from biosolids operations. Installation of these curtains will help mitigate noise and odor emissions, improving environmental conditions around the facility.
Procurement formally solicited bids for this project; however, no responses were received. MCU solicited quotes prior to requesting advertisement through Procurement, anticipating costs not to exceed $50,000, for which FHS Industrial Constructors, LLC, provided the lowest quote. As a result, MCU requests to proceed with FHS Industrial Constructors, LLC.
The project includes the furnishing and installation of eight (8) beige, 18-ounce PVC-coated polyester curtains, each measuring 20 feet by 18 feet. Curtains will be mounted on stainless steel tracks with stainless steel anchor hardware and sewn with acid-resistant thread. Each curtain will include Velcro closures from the bottom up to nine (9) feet, wind ties, and no vision panels. All materials, freight, and required rental equipment are included. Curtains will be shipped directly to the facility, and site access will accommodate necessary lift equipment. A copy of the vendor’s proposal is attached.
BUDGET/IMPACT:
Neutral; project cost is $60,160. Funding is available in ZF448536-563102 (Marion County Utility Fund).
