Specifications include, but are not limited to: It is the County’s intent to solicit qualified and experienced Contractors to provide vibration analysis services for existing potable water, wastewater and reclaimed water facilities owned and operated by the Polk County Utilities (PCU). Facilities in the scope of services include water treatment plants (including remote well sites), wastewater treatment plants, reclaimed water facilities, and remote storage and/or pumping facilities. These systems incorporate prime movers including diesel and gasoline fired engines that provide the power for the rotating machinery. These prime movers and corresponding power transmission units vary in horsepower, manufacturer, and configuration throughout PCU’s facilities. Services are required for the predictive maintenance of this rotating equipment for all designated PCU facilities. Equipment will include but is not limited to pumps, blowers, mixers, motors, and drive shafts at the locations listed in Attachment “A”. The purpose of the vibration analysis program is to support accurate machinery condition assessments. Engineering limits for the physical parameters must be established so that pending problems can be detected during routine monitoring. Predictive maintenance compares the trends of measured physical parameters against established limits to aid analysis, detection, and correction of problems before failure occurs. All services must be performed to the complete satisfaction of the County. A representative of PCU will coordinate the services and will oversee the performance of the services to ensure that the services are completed in accordance with the bid documents.
