245011 Supplemental Information Letter 1.pdf

This document is a supplemental information letter from the City of Salem, Oregon related to Bid No. 245011 for the procurement of 2 1/2" fire hose. The City, in partnership with Marion County, is seeking bids for a 12-month contract period beginning July 1, 2024, with up to four 1-year renewal options. The City estimates requiring 20 each of orange and yellow double-jacketed fire hose, and bidders must submit a notarized Certificate of Compliance stating their proposal meets or exceeds all detailed product requirements. The original bid closing date of April 17, 2024 has been changed to April 24, 2024.

Pricing shall be firm for the initial term, with potential increases or decreases over the renewal terms based on an escalation/de-escalation clause. The City will apply a reciprocal preference to non-resident bidders and reserves the right to cancel the procurement or reject any or all bids. The solicitation has no set-aside designations, and there are no incumbent vendors or current contractors identified. The total contract amount is unspecified, but the City's Sample Goods Agreement indicates a "Type Agreement Amount" for the fire hoses. Bidders are encouraged to review the City's contractor disclosure requirements prior to submitting a proposal.
