Elkay Water Fountain Installation

The Metropolitan Library System (MLS) in Oklahoma City is seeking a qualified vendor to perform the installation of 5 Elkay water fountains at the Downtown Library located at 300 Park Ave. The Request for Quote (RFQ) 26-11-01 requires a comprehensive installation project involving bil-level double water fountains with bottle fillers (Model ELZSTL8WSSP) and accompanying stainless steel wall panels (Model STLBFUP). Vendor responsibilities include complete removal of existing wall-mounted water fountains, ensuring full ADA compliance, making proper electrical and plumbing connections, modifying wall structures, repairing finishes, and maintaining a clean work area. A mandatory bid meeting is scheduled for June 3, 2025, at 10:00am in the 3rd Floor Conference Room, with work permitted to begin on July 1 and required completion by July 18, 2025. All installation must occur during normal library business hours, and the vendor must secure all necessary permits and schedule required inspections in compliance with local building codes.

The procurement does not explicitly indicate specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. The library will provide the new fountains and wall panels, with the vendor responsible for all installation materials, framing, plumbing, electrical components, and backing materials. While no specific budget range is detailed in the documents, the project scope suggests a moderate-complexity installation requiring specialized mechanical, electrical, and plumbing expertise. The vendor must demonstrate capability to work within the strict timeline and operational constraints of a functioning library environment. No incumbent vendors are mentioned, and the project appears to be a straightforward replacement and upgrade of existing water fountain infrastructure within the Downtown Library facility.
