This is a vendor outreach email from Sarasota County, Florida's Procurement and Contracts Specialist notifying known vendors of an upcoming Invitation for Bids (IFB) for small water meter parts. The solicitation, referenced as #262846RM, was scheduled for release on the OpenGov Procurement platform in March 2026, with a bid due date of April 8, 2026. The county seeks to establish a Purchase Agreement with a responsive and responsible bidder offering the lowest total bid price. Required deliverables include straight meter couplings, angle ball meter valves, bushings, meter boxes with lids, meter resetters, and hex bushings from specified manufacturers including Ford, Mueller, Hubbell, and Merit Brass. All products must be new and compliant with NSF/ANSI 61 standards, ANSI/AWWA/ASTM specifications, and Safe Drinking Water Act lead content requirements. Delivery must occur within sixty calendar days of purchase order receipt to Sarasota County's Meter Maintenance Yard at 369 Sarasota Center Boulevard, Sarasota, Florida 34240, during business hours Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time.

The County will inspect delivered products within five business days and reserves the right to reject and return non-compliant items at the Contractor's expense, with replacement required within thirty calendar days. Local and American business preferences do not apply to this award due to grant funding requirements.
