LENRD requests proposals for flow meter maintenance
/The Lower Elkhorn Natural Resources District (LENRD) has issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) to provide inspection and preventative maintenance services for all propeller-driven, analog display irrigation well flow meters (Propeller Meters) installed in the District. This project includes the provision of all labor, equipment and expertise to perform preventative maintenance services for an estimated 880 flow meters located within the District by April 15, 2020.
These inspection and preventative maintenance services include, but are not limited to: a physical examination and evaluation of proper flow meter installation and operation; removal of the flow meter to evaluate the condition of the propeller and bearings; reinstallation of the meter after greasing its bearings and replacing the saddle gasket; documentation of all inspection; maintenance findings and activities through photos and reports in a format provided by the LENRD; and application of an LENRD maintenance sticker to the Propeller Meter. The LENRD will supply grease, gaskets and other preventative maintenance supplies for this project.
These inspection and maintenance activities will be performed during the non-growing season, which is from October through April. Payment for these services will be negotiated between the District and the contractor but not more frequently than monthly for each completed inspection.
The District is seeking to have the Propeller Meters within Pierce County serviced (see the map below).
The full RFP is below. If you have any questions please contact Curt or Brian at the LENRD office (402) 371-7313 or by email at cbecker@lenrd.org or bbruckner@lenrd.org
Proposals must be submitted by 4:30 p.m. on Tuesday, October 22, 2019 to the LENRD office.
