Culvert Pipe and CIP Liners

Portage County, Wisconsin, is seeking bids to establish a contract for the purchase of culvert pipe and CIP liners for various Highway Department projects throughout 2023. The procurement is open to original manufacturers, authorized distributors, and dealers who can provide multiple types of culvert pipe, including corrugated steel pipe (galvanized, aluminized, and polymer-coated), high-density polyethylene plastic pipe, and flexible pipe liners. The bid requires detailed pricing per linear foot for pipe sizes ranging from 12 to 128 inches, along with pricing for metal and plastic end walls and bands. Bidders must submit three references from similar institutions served within the past three years, provide proof of three years in the highway products business, and include a warranty statement. The bid submission deadline is February 21, 2023, at 2:00 PM, with a public opening at the Portage County Purchasing Department located at 1462 Strongs Ave, Stevens Point, WI 54481. All quoted pipe must meet Wisconsin DOT specifications and AASHTO standards, and bidders must submit pricing on the provided Bid Offer Form with FOB Destination Freight Included terms.

The contract is non-exclusive, allowing Portage County to purchase culvert pipe outside the contract if necessary. There are no specific set-aside designations or restrictions on responding organizations mentioned in the documentation. The contract term runs from the date of award through December 31, 2023, with no specified renewal options. Delivery will be accepted at 850 Cubbie Lane, Plover, WI 54467, with deliveries limited to Monday through Thursday between 6:00 AM and 4:00 PM. The County reserves the right to revise pricing monthly, with vendors permitted to submit revised pricing before the fourth Tuesday of each month due to market fluctuations. The contract includes provisions for termination, with the County able to terminate with 30 days' written notice or immediately if performance threatens health or safety. While no specific budget range is provided, the procurement is structured to accommodate full-load orders with governmental discounts. Bidders must be current on Portage County tax liabilities, with the potential for payment offsets if they are not.
