Aluminum Pipes

Greenville County is seeking sealed bids for Request for Proposal (RFP) #23079 to procure specific aluminum pipe configurations for infrastructure projects. The procurement involves two distinct pipe specifications: 38 linear feet of 117" X 79" Arched Aluminum 8 Gage Pipe 3"X1" CORR and 44 linear feet of 108" 10 Gage Aluminum Pipe 3"X1" CORR. The proposal was issued on December 30, 2022, with bids due by January 5, 2023, at 3:00 pm, and the county plans to review proposals on January 10, 2023, with a tentative award date the same day. Vendors must submit all required documentation electronically through the county's online procurement portal and comply with specified terms and conditions. The evaluation will be based on five equally weighted criteria: responsiveness to RFP, cost, experience with similar projects, references, and lead time, with each criterion contributing 20% to the total score. Required submissions include a completed vendor questionnaire, compliance documentation for the Illegal Immigration Reform Act, and professional references.

The procurement does not specify explicit set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Vendors must complete a Substitute Form W-9, providing comprehensive tax and business information, and certify their U.S. taxpayer status. While specific budget ranges are not detailed in the provided documents, the contract appears to be a standard services agreement with potential for contract extensions up to four additional annual renewals, subject to County approval. Vendors must maintain specific insurance coverages, including comprehensive general liability, automobile liability, and worker's compensation. The Sample Services Agreement indicates that payment terms will be based on invoices submitted upon completion of services, with the total contract value to be determined during the procurement process. Contractors must also comply with legal requirements, including the South Carolina Illegal Immigration Reform Act, and be prepared to integrate with existing county infrastructure and technology systems.
