Irrigation System

The Town of Groton, Connecticut is seeking a vendor to install an irrigation system with associated controls and equipment. The agency requires a complete installation that includes flushing dirt and debris from piping before installing sprinklers, and placing sprinklers at manufacturer-recommended heights after a hydrostatic test is completed. Part-circle sprinklers must maintain a minimum distance of four inches from walls and other boundaries. The agency requires the vendor to perform rigorous tests and inspections to ensure system integrity. The system must undergo a leak test at normal working pressure, and any detected leaks must be repaired and retested until the system is completely sealed. Additionally, the agency requires an operational test of controllers and automatic control valves once electrical circuitry is energized, alongside the testing, adjustment, and potential replacement of controls and safeties. Bidders must perform all work onsite in Groton, Connecticut, and eligibility is restricted to onshore vendors located within the United States. The contract period will span one year from the date of award. The agency is looking for proposals to establish the budget, and the irrigation system will be considered defective if it fails to pass any of the specified tests and inspections.
