The City of Grand Junction in Mesa County, Colorado, is soliciting competitive bids for a materials-only procurement of water infrastructure supplies for the 7th to 15th Ouray Replacement project. The solicitation seeks qualified companies to provide and deliver specific water infrastructure materials, including 6", 8", and 20" PVC pipes, fire hydrants, valves, tap saddles, corp stops, couplings, and related accessories. All pipes must be AWWA approved with pressure ratings of DR18 and DR25, and bidders are required to verify all specifications and scope of work prior to submission. The bid responses are due electronically on May 20, 2025, before 2:00 PM local time through the Rocky Mountain E-Purchasing website, with anticipated council approval scheduled for June 4, 2025, and contract execution expected on June 5, 2025. The comprehensive bid includes a detailed price schedule with 23 line items specifying quantities, descriptions, and finish types, with the city accepting both epoxy-coated and non-epoxy-coated fittings, while explicitly excluding zinc-coated fittings. Mechanical joint restraints must be included in fitting costs, and all fittings must be pressure-rated DR-18.

The solicitation does not explicitly mention specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. The procurement is a materials-only purchase, with no installation required, and delivery will be made to the City of Grand Junction Water Services Yard, with potential alternate delivery locations to be verified with the owner. The city emphasizes that estimated quantities are not guaranteed, and no commitments are made about total aggregate order quantities. While specific budget ranges are not detailed in the available documentation, the comprehensive nature of the material list suggests a significant infrastructure investment. The bid allows for flexibility in manufacturer selection, provided the materials meet the specified technical requirements, indicating an open and competitive procurement process. Potential bidders should note that the city will evaluate submissions based on compliance with technical specifications, pricing, and ability to meet the project's specific water infrastructure needs.
