Electrical Supplies

Dutchess County is seeking to procure electrical parts and supplies for its Department of Public Works (DPW) through a competitive bid process designated as RFB-DCP-40-25. The county intends to contract with multiple vendors capable of supplying a variable quantity of electrical components through both delivery and walk-in services. The procurement requires vendors to offer percentage discounts off list prices across eight distinct product categories, including hand tools, abrasives, safety equipment, adhesives, conduit, wire, electrical components, and fasteners. All materials must be newly manufactured with no minimum order requirements. The contract will span two years from the award date, with potential for three additional one-year renewal options. Bids are specifically due on September 30, 2025, at 2:00 PM, and vendors must be located within reasonable proximity to Poughkeepsie, Rhinebeck, or Wappingers Falls, NY to facilitate convenient supply pickup by county personnel. The county reserves the right to award to multiple vendors and select the most advantageous supplier based on project location, cost, and supply availability.

The county encourages submissions from Minority and/or Women-Owned Business Enterprises (MWBE) and Disadvantaged Business Enterprises (DBE), providing potential opportunities for diverse vendors. Pricing will remain firm for the initial contract term, with potential adjustments permitted for federal tariff changes. Invoicing will be processed through purchase orders, with payment methods including ACH and credit card transactions. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the procurement's scope suggests a significant ongoing electrical supply requirement for county infrastructure and maintenance operations. The competitive bidding process allows the county flexibility in vendor selection, enabling them to establish a responsive and cost-effective supply chain for their Department of Public Works' electrical needs. Vendors will be evaluated not only on pricing and discount structures but also on their ability to consistently meet the county's diverse electrical supply requirements across multiple product categories.
