Commodity contract for one (1) heavy duty welding table

The City of Milwaukee, specifically the Milwaukee Fire Department, is seeking to procure one (1) heavy-duty welding table through Bid #21334, with the solicitation posted on August 18, 2025, and bids due by September 4, 2025, at 4:30 PM CT. The procurement covers a specific welding table measuring 5 feet x 10 feet with a 36-inch standard height, capable of supporting up to 5,000 lbs, featuring a hardened surface with a 28mm bore grid pattern, modular design, integrated T-slots, and adjustable leveling feet. Deliverables include the table itself, with vendor responsibilities encompassing delivery to the MFD Repair Shop at 1900 W. Fiebrantz Ave., Milwaukee, and mandatory on-site delivery, setup, and training. Evaluation criteria will focus on determining the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, with the low bid calculated by multiplying the quoted unit price by the specified quantity. Bidders must submit comprehensive documentation, including a W-9 form, and have the option to extend pricing to other V.A.L.U.E. member organizations in Southeastern Wisconsin.

The solicitation does not mandate a specific Small Business Enterprise (SBE) participation requirement, though the City of Milwaukee encourages SBE involvement for supplementary services. Vendors must comply with extensive insurance requirements, including maintaining Commercial General Liability insurance with $1,000,000 per occurrence, $2,000,000 general aggregate coverage, and naming the City of Milwaukee as an additional insured. The procurement allows for potential contract extensions to other regional government entities, including Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewerage District and Milwaukee Public Schools. Vendors must provide a manufacturer's warranty of at least one year covering parts and labor, and demonstrate compliance with industry safety and performance standards. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the procurement is for a single heavy-duty welding table, suggesting a moderate-value contract focused on specialized equipment for the Milwaukee Fire Department's maintenance and fabrication needs.
