This is a proposal submission document for Kennedy Hydrants and Hydrant Parts submitted to the Finance & Management Director of the City of Columbus, Ohio, for a Universal Term Contract (blanket type) to supply fire hydrants and hydrant parts. The proposal covers an extensive range of replacement parts organized by hydrant model type, including Kennedy K11 parts (such as Alemite fittings, operating stem nuts, hold down nuts, upper and lower stems, seat rings, and stem extensions), Kennedy K10B parts (upper stems, lower stems), and Kennedy 1280 parts (stem extensions, seat rings, bottom plates, guide/drain valves, break couplings, extension couplings, brass stem sleeves, and lower stems). The estimated quantities range from 10 to 400 units per line item, with delivery expectations and minimum order quantities to be specified by the vendor. The contract is intended to be effective through July 31, 2029, and bidders were required to submit specification questions through the Vendor Services portal by 4:00 pm on Thursday, July 30, 2026, with responses posted no later than Thursday, August 6, 2026.

The proposal requires pricing to be quoted on an F.O.B. destination freight prepaid and allowed basis to any City of Columbus facility, with vendors expected to provide manufacturer list prices, percentage discounts, and net unit prices for each line item. Bidders must demonstrate at least five years of experience providing fire hydrant materials and related services, and must provide documented references from at least four similar customers with comparable scope, complexity, and cost requirements. The proposal form itself does not contain completed pricing information, manufacturer details, or discount percentages, indicating this is a template bid document awaiting vendor completion with specific cost and delivery terms.
