BOTTLED WATER SERVICE

The Road Commission for Oakland County (RCOC) is seeking competitive quotes for a bottled water service contract, targeting a one-year term from June 1, 2025, through May 31, 2026, with two potential one-year extension options. The procurement specifically requires a vendor to provide purified five-gallon water containers delivered to seven different RCOC locations across Oakland County, with estimated yearly container quantities ranging from 90 to 1,130 per location. Vendors must commit to weekly deliveries of full water racks and pickup of empty containers, with deliveries restricted to Monday through Friday between 8:00 a.m. and 2:30 p.m., excluding RCOC observed holidays. All water must strictly comply with FDA Standards of Quality and relevant federal, state, and local regulations. Quotes are due on Wednesday, May 14, 2025, at 10:00 a.m. and must be submitted through the Michigan Inter-governmental Trade Network (MITN) website. The contract will be awarded based on the most advantageous offer, with primary consideration given to the lowest dollar amount and most efficient delivery time.

The RFQ does not explicitly indicate specific set-aside designations or restrictions on responding organizations. However, the vendor must provide comprehensive insurance coverage, including general liability, auto liability, and worker's compensation, with minimum coverage limits of $1,000,000 per occurrence. While no specific budget range is detailed in the documentation, the contract appears to be a standard service procurement with potential for up to three years of service through the initial term and two optional extensions. The Road Commission reserves the right to accept or reject any quotes submitted and maintains a tax-exempt status. Potential bidders should carefully review all requirements, particularly the delivery specifications, water quality standards, and insurance obligations, to ensure full compliance with the solicitation's detailed parameters.
