Copper Tubing

The Alameda County Water District (ACWD) has issued a Request for Quotation (RFQ) 25/26-07 for the procurement of copper tubing, specifically seeking 1,000 feet of 3/4" Type K soft tubing in 100 ft rolls. The solicitation strictly requires Reading brand copper tubing from Cambridge-Lee Industries, with no alternate brands permitted. Quotations are due on Tuesday, August 12, 2025, at 2:00 PM, and must be submitted electronically through the Bonfire procurement platform at https://acwd.bonfirehub.com. Evaluation criteria will include consideration of prompt payment discounts for terms of 15 days or more. Delivery of the copper tubing will be made to the ACWD warehouse located at 4550 Enterprise Street in Fremont, California, with specific receiving hours from Monday through Friday, between 7:30am-12pm and 1pm-2:30pm, excluding district holidays. Vendors are advised to carefully review all submission requirements and specifications before preparing their quotation.

The RFQ does not explicitly mention any set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. No information is provided about incumbent vendors or existing infrastructure requirements. While the specific budget or award value is not disclosed in the available documentation, the procurement appears to be for a relatively small, targeted purchase of specialized copper tubing. The strict brand specification for Reading brand tubing from Cambridge-Lee Industries suggests a precise technical requirement that may limit competitive bidding. Potential vendors should note the specific delivery requirements and carefully adhere to the submission guidelines outlined in the RFQ documentation. The procurement is specifically for the Alameda County Water District's internal infrastructure needs, with a clear focus on obtaining a very specific type of copper tubing for their operational requirements.
