About this opportunity

The City of Madison Finance Department Purchasing Services issued Request for Quotation (RFQ) 4818-0-2019-BO on behalf of Madison Water Utility for procuring ductile iron pipe. The solicitation seeks unit pricing for centrifugally cast ductile iron pipe conforming to AWWA C151 standards, covering eight diameter sizes ranging from 3 to 20 inches, with specific wall thicknesses in Classes 51 and 52. Required pipe specifications include cement-lined interior surfaces, tar-coated exterior, standard 18-20 foot lengths with push-on joints, and accompanying gaskets, lubricant, and bonding straps. Key procurement dates included a May 6, 2019 deadline for questions, with answers provided by May 10, 2019, and quotation submissions due May 15, 2019 at 1:00 PM CST. Evaluation criteria encompassed cost, quality, warranty, delivery, past performance, and service capability, with the city planning to award to the most advantageous responsive and responsible bidder. Delivery requirements mandate 24-hour advance notice to Madison Water Utility at 110 S. Paterson Street, with unloading restricted to weekdays between 7:30 AM and 2:00 PM.

The solicitation incorporated a local vendor preference policy, providing scoring advantages to registered local suppliers. Bidders were permitted to submit substitute items with comprehensive specifications for city evaluation, and partial orders were acceptable unless otherwise specified. Three suppliers submitted competitive bids: Core & Main (awarded vendor), ETNA First Supply LLC, and Us Pipe. Core & Main was selected with a total price of $235.24 for all eight line items, which represented the lowest overall cost and qualified as a local vendor. The contract requires pricing to remain firm for at least one year, with bidders specifying payment terms and delivery timelines post-order receipt. While no specific disadvantaged enterprise requirements were explicitly detailed, the local vendor preference suggests potential opportunities for local business participation. The procurement appears focused on infrastructure maintenance and replacement, with no indication of an incumbent contractor being displaced by this award.
