Ductile iron pipe

The City of Flint, Michigan's Finance Department of Purchases & Supplies is soliciting sealed bids for a two-year contract to procure ductile iron pipe materials for the Water Pollution Control Facility. The procurement encompasses a comprehensive range of pipe infrastructure including ductile iron pipes, pipe fittings, bends, tees, adapters, repair clamps, and associated accessories, with sizes ranging from 3-inch to 8-inch diameters. Bidders must submit proposals that include detailed pricing for multiple pipe classes, joint types, and accessory components, with all shipping and travel charges to be incorporated into the purchase price. The bid (Bid No. 26000001) requires submission of one original printed and signed proposal, one unbound copy, and one electronic copy, with bids due on Tuesday, July 15, 2025, by 11:00 A.M. EST. Evaluation criteria are stringent, with potential disqualification for failing to use the provided bid form or omitting pricing for any line items. The city reserves the right to award the contract based on multiple factors including price, product availability, location, and quality, with potential for split awards or selection of individual line items.

No specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises are explicitly mentioned in the available documentation. The procurement does not indicate any incumbent vendors or specify mandatory integration requirements with existing infrastructure. While the bid documents do not provide a precise total contract value, the two-year contract structure and comprehensive line-item pricing suggest a potentially significant procurement opportunity. The bid allows for flexible awarding, potentially enabling multiple vendors to secure portions of the contract. Interested vendors should carefully review the complete bid documentation, particularly the detailed pricing table and submission requirements, to ensure full compliance and maximize their chances of a successful bid. The public bid opening will occur in the McKenzie Conference Room at Flint City Hall on the same date and time as the bid submission deadline.
