The selected tester(s) and/or contractor(s) will be required to provide Testing & Maintenance Services of City-owned backflow prevention assemblies on an annual basis and/or Repairs & Replacement Services on an as-needed basis. The length of the agreement(s) will be for a minimum one-year period commencing July 1, 2025, with up to four (4) one-year extension options under mutually agreeable terms. The City currently has 239 backflow prevention assemblies, including: Double Check Detector Assemblies (DCDAs), Reduced Pressure Detector Assemblies (RPDAs), Detector Checks (DCs), and Reduced Pressure (RP) type backflow assemblies. Detailed information including the quantity, size, type, make, and locations of the City’s backflow assemblies are provided in Attachment “A”. Each backflow prevention assembly is subject to an individual testing schedule. Formal testing notices will be issued to the selected contractor, with each notice specifying a due date for the corresponding assembly. The volume of tests required will vary on a monthly basis, as testing intervals are determined by the original installation dates of the assemblies.
