CONTRACT 23-RFP-08
The Metropolitan Water Reclamation District of Greater Chicago (“District”) requests proposals from any
prospective Proposer for the above captioned subject which is described in document 23-RFP-08.
PROPOSALS ARE DUE: FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 16, 2024.
Sealed proposals, endorsed as above, will be submitted to the District via an electronic upload to the Bonfire
Portal only. See “Submission Via the Bonfire Portal” for instructions. Proposals will be accepted from the
date of the Invitation to Bid, up to 11:00 A.M. (Central Time), on Friday, February 16, 2024, as stated above.
Bids will be deemed non-responsive if not submitted using the Bonfire-project specific URL link, provided
by the District with the bidding documents.
No bids will be accepted after 11:00 A.M. (Central Time) on the above scheduled due date. Faxed,
mailed, emailed or hand delivered proposals will not be accepted. There is no Bid Depository safe for
this purpose.
The purpose of this RFP is to select a qualified vendor to provide training to assist employees in identifying
various odors throughout the wastewater treatment process by learning different testing and monitoring
procedures. This training is a part of the community odor plan between the Monitoring and Research
Department and the Stickney local community to address concerns of odors from plant operations. The
ability to detect and categorize odors will better assist employees in determining the source of an odor so
that it can be remedied. The training will occur in the years 2024, 2025, and 2026. The delivery of the
trainings will be in person.
The estimated cost for this RFP is $36,000.00 for a thirty-six-month period. The estimated costs for 2024,
2025, and 2026 are $12,000.00 for each budget year. Funding for all contract items is subject to the Board
of Commissioners’ approval of the budget for those years.
Copies of the Request for Proposal are only available online from the District’s website at www.mwrd.org
(DOING BUSINESS → PROCUREMENT & MATERIALS MANAGEMENT → CONTRACT
ANNOUNCEMENTS). No fee is required for the Request for Proposal documents. Any questions
regarding the downloading of Request for Proposal documents should be directed to
contractdesk@mwrd.org or call (312) 751-6643.
Further, the District assumes no liability or responsibility for the failure or inability of any Proposer to
successfully download any and all contract documents, including but not limited to specifications, proposal
forms and/or plans, as a result of any type of technological computer and/or software system failure or
breakdown that restricts, prohibits or prevents successful downloading of any and all District contract
documents by the Proposer, whether caused by the District or other parties, directly or indirectly.
Proposers are to include with their proposal signed copies of any addenda, or acknowledge receipt of any
addenda, if the District issued any addenda to this contract. Failure to do so may be cause for the rejection
of any bid. Bidding documents are available only online, and any addenda issued for this contract will be
available online at the District’s website, www.mwrd.org (Doing Business→Procurement and Materials
Management→Contract Announcements). Addenda will also be emailed/faxed to each person receiving a
set of such contract documents and to such other prospective Proposers as shall have requested that they be
furnished with a copy of the addenda.
If any potential Proposer contemplating to submit a proposal is in doubt as to the true meaning of any part
of the specifications or other contract documents, such inquiry should be submitted online at the District’s
website, www.mwrd.org. The path is as follows: Doing Business→Procurement and Materials
Management→Contract Announcements. The District will provide an online response to such inquiries, as
the District deems appropriate. Strings of appropriate questions and answers regarding the bidding
documents will be available online on the District’s website until the bid opening date of the bidding
documents. No questions will be accepted by telephone, fax, email, mail, or any other such form of delivery.
The District will only respond to questions received online up to ONE WEEK prior to the date set to receive
proposals. The District will not respond to questions received after this date. The District does not guarantee
the timeliness of responses provided online, nor does the District guarantee that such responses will be
provided in adequate time to affect the submission of bids. The District shall provide responses online
ONLY if the responses do not interpret or otherwise change the bidding documents.
The District’s responses online are NOT official responses and, therefore, are not binding to the bidding
documents. Any official interpretation or change to the bidding documents will be made only by addenda
duly issued to all plan holders on record by the Director of Procurement and Materials Management.
The contact person for the request for proposal is Karen Brown, Human Resources Analyst. This contact
person will provide online responses to online inquiries.
The District reserves the right to accept any Request for Proposal or any part thereof or to reject any and
all Request for Proposals.
