The specifications that define your vendor's accountability should be written by someone with no interest in how easy or difficult they are to meet.
Most cooling water vendor contracts are written largely by the vendor — or from templates the vendor provided. Performance specifications are vague, measurement protocols are controlled by the same party being measured, and there is no structural mechanism for independent verification of program outcomes. Our RFP and contract support process fixes all three of those problems.
We write measurable, time-bound, independently verifiable specifications: corrosion rates by alloy and zone, saturation index operating windows, inhibitor residual ranges with documented response time requirements, Legionella monitoring protocols, and blowdown and water efficiency targets.
A complete bid package with technical scope, data requirements, evaluation criteria, and commercial terms framework — designed to attract qualified vendors and create meaningful competitive tension.
We build and apply a weighted evaluation framework that rewards technical depth, program transparency, and performance commitment — not lowest price or most familiar brand.
We conduct structured technical interviews with shortlisted vendors, probe the substance behind their proposals, and assess their actual in-house modeling and field capability.
We sit at the table as your independent technical voice during contract negotiations — translating commercial terms into operational implications and ensuring performance accountability is built into the final contract structure.
Our RFP processes typically achieve 15–30% contract cost reduction while improving performance specifications and accountability. The investment is recovered many times over in the first year of the new contract.
