Motor Control Center for Pure Water AV Demonstration Facility

The Palmdale Water District (PWD) is soliciting competitive bids for motor control center (MCC) equipment to support the Pure Water Antelope Valley (Pure Water AV) demonstration facility. The solicitation (22-653(a)) seeks a qualified vendor to supply MCC equipment configured as either a single combined unit or two separate MCCs for the Advanced Water Treatment area and Brine Management area. Bidders must provide pricing for both options, and the District will select one configuration following bid evaluation and award a supply contract accordingly.

The Pure Water AV project is a regional recycled water program designed to address water supply resiliency and groundwater aquifer management through an indirect potable reuse (IPR) system permitted under Title 22 Code of California Regulations for groundwater augmentation via direct injection. The Advanced Water Treatment Demonstration Facility will serve multiple purposes: public education and facility tours, demonstration testing for permitting approval, full-scale design criteria development, and operator training. The MCC equipment will be installed by a separate construction contractor; the facility construction bid solicitation is expected to be released in winter 2024 with groundbreaking in spring 2024.

Key dates and milestones include: Q&A deadline of February 8, 2024 at 01:00 UTC; proposal submission deadline of February 13, 2024 at 23:00 UTC; and expected MCC delivery by January 2025 or sooner to accommodate installation prior to facility operational launch. Detailed specifications are provided in attachments including compiled specifications and low-voltage motor control center specifications for both options.

Submissions should include complete pricing for both configuration options along with all required supporting documentation as outlined in the Terms and Conditions attachment.
