DOCUMENT
RFI - Design-Build of Biodiesel Processing Plant 2007
- YEAR CREATED: 2007
- ENTITY TYPE: City/Township
- TYPE OF DOCUMENT: RFI - Request for Information
The document is a Request for Information (RFI) from the City of Tallahassee, Florida, regarding the design and construction of a Biodiesel Processing Plant for the City's Fleet Management Complex. The purpose of the RFI is to gather information from interested firms that may be interested in submitting a technical and cost proposal for the project. The City does not guarantee that a formal solicitation will be issued or that a contract will be awarded based on the RFI.
The background section explains that the City plans to build a processing facility for the production of biodiesel and is seeking qualified firms to provide design and/or construction services. The services required include architectural and MEP engineering design, engineering design of the processing plant, obtaining permits and approvals, and construction of the facility. The initial production capacity of the plant is 1000 gallons per day, with the potential for expansion to 5000 gallons per day. The plant will utilize waste oil as the main resource, but other options like chicken fat or virgin oil may be considered.
The document also outlines the specific facility needs, including storage of the raw resource, equipment for blending biodiesel with petroleum diesel, a methanol recovery system, by-product handling, and methanol storage. The City prefers not to use water-based biodiesel cleaning systems due to wastewater disposal regulations.
The response requirements section states that interested firms should submit hardcopy brochures and marketing information, along with specific information about their company, including contact details and a completed questionnaire. The deadline for submission is September 18, 2007.
Overall, the document provides background information about the project and outlines the requirements for firms interested in submitting a proposal for the design and construction of the Biodiesel Processing Plant.
