Culvert Pipe and CIP Liners

Portage County, Wisconsin is seeking bids to establish a contract for culvert pipe and CIP liners through its Purchasing Department for various Highway Department projects in 2025. The procurement seeks pricing for multiple pipe types including plastic, galvanized, aluminized, poly coated pipes, and culvert pipe liners, with specific requirements that all items must meet Wisconsin Department of Transportation specifications. Bids must be submitted by February 18, 2025, at 2:00 PM to the Portage County Purchasing Department in Stevens Point, with preliminary questions due by February 6, 2025, at 2:00 PM. The contract will run from the date of award through December 31, 2025, with delivery requirements stipulating acceptance Monday through Thursday between 6:00 AM and 4:00 PM. Vendors are required to provide pricing based on full load orders, with the county intending to establish a call list of distributors who will be contacted based on price and availability. Vendors may submit revised monthly pricing due to market fluctuations, with submissions due by the 4th Tuesday of each month for the following month's pricing.

The bid documents do not specify explicit set-aside designations or restrictions on responding organizations. Delivery for all items will be FOB destination with freight included, directed to 850 Cubbie Lane, Plover, WI 54467, and the county maintains a tax-exempt status for Federal Excise and Wisconsin Sales Taxes. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the procurement suggests a competitive bidding process where multiple vendors may be selected to a call list based on pricing and product availability. The county's approach indicates a flexible procurement strategy designed to secure competitive pricing for culvert pipes and liners throughout the 2025 calendar year. The solicitation appears open to qualified distributors and manufacturers who can meet the specified technical requirements and delivery specifications outlined in the bid document.
