Starting Point • Equipment Offer
Common Problems with Bids • The Bid Offer is not Clear • Make/Model not indicated • Self –certification is incorrect • Equipment must be “easy to use” • Offered Equipment Does Not Meet Specs • Offered Equipment are not represented correctly • Equipment does not meet specificationsDoes not meet specifications • Accuracy • Resolution • Precision/Repeatability • Functional Requirements • Hydrometric data collection • Supervisory Command and Control (SCADA)
Evaluating Bids • Bidders are to supply data sheets on all hardware • All responses indicating compliance by the bidder are to be confirmed in the data sheets. • Bidder can add manufacturers letter indicating compliance by the manufacturer
