About this opportunity

The City of Madison Finance Department's Purchasing Services has issued Request for Quotation (RFQ #5313-0-2024-TJ) for the Water Utility seeking curb boxes and related water infrastructure components. The procurement involves nine distinct line items, including 350 complete curb boxes, 250-300 curb box extensions (12" and 18"), various repair lids, dust caps/dirt rings, and 6-foot straight curb box rods. All curb box assemblies must include specific components such as brass screws, 2-inch flush fit covers, rods, and guide rings, with mandatory specifications that all boxes and parts be cast iron and tar coated inside and outside using screw-type construction. The acceptable manufacturer is specified as Bingham & Taylor 94F, with explicit prohibitions against rubber or welded-on threads. The RFQ was released on April 5, 2024, with quotations due by April 19, 2024, at 2:00 PM CST, to be submitted electronically to bids@cityofmadison.com. Award criteria will be based on multiple factors including cost, quality, compatibility, delivery, and past performance, with a local vendor preference policy providing scoring advantages to registered local suppliers.

The procurement does not explicitly detail specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises, though the local vendor preference policy suggests some preferential treatment for local businesses. Three vendors submitted bids: First Supply Inc, Core & Main, and Ferguson Water Works, with delivery times ranging from 30 to 60 days. First Supply Inc was awarded the contract with the lowest total bid of $98,018.00, offering a 1% discount for payment within 30 days and guaranteeing firm pricing for one year. Core & Main's bid was $104,489.75, and Ferguson Water Works bid $100,862.50. Pricing is FOB Madison with shipping charges included, and delivery is required to Madison Water Utility at 110 S. Paterson Street with 24-hour advance notice. The procurement appears to be a standard water utility maintenance supply contract with no indicated special funding sources or additional restrictions on bidder qualifications beyond responsiveness and ability to meet technical specifications.
