8-inch Dewatering Pipe and Hoses

The City of Green Bay, Wisconsin, issued a Request for Quote (RFQ) on March 31, 2020, seeking bids for 8-inch dewatering pipe and hoses to support the city's dewatering pump operations. The specific procurement includes thirty aluminum pipe male and female Bauer style fittings (8" x 10' x .09" thickness), ten SR suction hoses, twenty lay flat hoses, three 45-degree aluminum 8" elbows, one hundred 8" rubber O-rings, and two 8" section strainers. Vendor questions were due by April 7, 2020, with sealed bid submissions required by April 15, 2020, at 2:00 PM Central Time. Quotations were to be submitted in two complete sets via sealed email or mail to the City of Green Bay Purchasing Department. Vendors were required to specify delivery lead times, warranty terms, and pricing, with offers needing to remain firm for a minimum of 90 days after the due date. The city reserved the right to accept or reject any quotations, award on a line-item basis, and cancel the agreement with 30 days' written notice.

The RFQ did not specify any specific set-aside designations or restrictions on vendor participation. Delivery was specified as F.O.B. to the City's Eastside Garage at 1820 Mills Street, with the successful vendor responsible for all delivery costs and arrangements. Payment terms were established as Net 30, with vendors able to offer early payment discounts. Due to coronavirus restrictions, there was no public bid opening, and results were to be distributed to all bidders via email. The city anticipated an intent to award on April 24, 2020, with a projected award notification date of May 6, 2020, pending City Council approval on May 5, 2020. While no specific budget range was disclosed in the document, the procurement appeared to be a targeted purchase of specific dewatering equipment components with a focus on precise specifications and competitive pricing.
