This is a Bid Price Form (Attachment A-2, Revision 1) for the School Board of Citrus County, Florida's Invitation to Bid 2026-13, which seeks qualified respondents to provide welding materials, supplies, equipment, and gases on an as-needed basis to schools and district departments. The procurement is structured in three categories: Category 1 addresses specific welding materials and equipment including electrodes (SMAW, GTAW, GMAW, FCAW), tungsten electrodes, welding helmets, plasma cutters, air compressors, and related consumables with 22 line items; Category 2 covers percentage mark-ups or discounts for additional items such as personal protective equipment, filler metals, consumables, tools, welding accessories, and welding machines; and Category 3 addresses industrial gases across multiple cylinder sizes including acetylene, argon, carbon dioxide, helium, nitrogen, oxygen, and specialty gas mixes with both exchange and refill pricing options. Respondents must submit firm, fixed unit prices for Category 1 and Category 3 items and provide percentage mark-ups or discounts for Category 2 items, with all prices including shipping and handling charges to the requested destination. All bids must be signed by an authorized agent with binding authority.

The bid form requires respondents to provide unit prices for Category 1 items and extended prices based on estimated quantities, rental fees per cylinder per day for Category 3 gases, and delivery flat fees, with the form noting that failure to quote rental or delivery fees shall indicate these costs are inclusive in the quoted unit prices. Respondents may bid on Category 2 subcategories as provided or propose alternate lists by manufacturer, and structured or variable discounts may be tiered based on quantities purchased or other criteria. The form includes vendor comment sections allowing respondents to identify alternative units of measure or provide additional pricing information. The materials requested are primarily intended for technical training classes and high school welding programs throughout the district, with district operational departments including maintenance and food service maintaining the right to purchase from the awarded contract at bid prices.
