Zoom Bid Opening Instructions 4.24.24~2.docx

This document is a Zoom meeting invitation for a bid opening related to a state and local contract opportunity in Oregon. The City of Salem, Oregon, in partnership with Marion County, is seeking bids for the procurement of 2 1/2" Fire Hose under Bid No. 245011. The contract will be for a 12-month 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. Bids are due by April 17, 2024 at 11:00 AM local time, and the bid opening will take place via Zoom on April 24, 2024 at 11:00 AM Pacific Time.

The 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 if it is in the best interest of the City. 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.
