Bid No. 256018 Muck Boots

Marion County and the City of Salem, Oregon are seeking bids for the procurement of multiple Muck Boot models through Bid No. 256018, targeted at the Public Works Warehouse. The procurement involves four specific boot types: a Composite Protective Toe boot (60 units), a 16" Tall Chore boot (5 units), a Steel Toe boot (5 units), and a Wide Calf Steel Toe boot (5 units). Technical specifications require 100% waterproofing, compliance with safety standards ASTM F2413-18 and CSA Grade 1, electric shock resistance, and performance across temperatures ranging from sub-freezing to 65°F. The bid is scheduled to close on April 9, 2025, at 11:00 AM local time, with an initial contract term running through June 30, 2026, and potential for four additional one-year renewal periods contingent upon city approval and satisfactory performance. Bidders must submit pricing for all items, with the contract to be awarded to the lowest responsive bidder. Delivery expectations include a five-city-business-day turnaround after order, with goods to be delivered to the City Warehouse in Salem, Oregon.

The procurement allows for cooperative purchasing, enabling other public agencies to potentially utilize the contract. Pricing will remain firm for the initial term, with potential price adjustments limited to a maximum of 15% increase during any 30-day period. While no specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises are explicitly mentioned in the documents, bidders will be evaluated based on responsiveness, pricing, and ability to meet technical specifications. The procurement documents indicate a comprehensive approach to acquiring specialized work boots for municipal employees, suggesting a potential award value that would cover the 75 total boots across different specifications. The City of Salem has structured the bid to ensure competitive pricing, quality standards, and flexibility for future procurement needs through potential contract extensions.
