Amendment No.: 0001
Solicitation No.: 36C24126Q0489
Date: July 27, 2026
Purpose of Amendment
The purpose of this amendment is to provide responses to questions submitted regarding the solicitation. As a result of these questions and responses, the response due date remains unchanged.
1. Question: The bid indicates that the awarded contractor must use the PhiAnalytics platform by Phigenics. This is proprietary to them, it’s unlikely they would allow another company to access this.

They need to be installed on the supply cold & hot lines as well as the distal locations (pipe chases) across 7 patient care buildings. The unit shall be able to operate in temperatures at or above 124 °F, monitor pH, monitor residual biocide (as low as 0.001 ppm) and take instantaneous readings if needed, monitor turbidity, and monitor...
