ENGR-Childersburg- Steel

The State of Alabama Office of the Chief Procurement Officer is soliciting steel procurement for the City of Childersburg through a Quick Quote process. This is a competitive procurement opportunity with a posted date of April 9, 2026, and a deadline for submission of April 14, 2026. All potential suppliers must be registered in Alabama Buys and submit their responses electronically through that platform prior to the stated close date and time. The procurement establishes a maximum contract cost of $25,000 and a maximum contract term of five years from the effective date, with provisions for annual renewal by mutual written agreement of both parties. The State of Alabama reserves the right to conduct cost realism and price reasonableness analyses on all bids submitted. While the boilerplate terms and conditions document does not specify exact item quantities, detailed specifications, site visits, or bidders' meetings, suppliers should be prepared to demonstrate competitive pricing and cost justification in their proposals.

Suppliers responding to this opportunity must comply with Alabama sales tax exemption provisions, register with the Alabama Secretary of State if operating as a foreign corporation, and demonstrate E-Verify enrollment if employing workers within Alabama. Price escalation requests may be considered during contract performance but cannot exceed 5 percent of the annual contract cost and must be supported by appropriate documentation. The State of Alabama retains the right to cancel contracts for convenience with reasonable notice and is exempt from indemnifying suppliers. All disputes arising from the contract shall be resolved through good faith negotiation or non-binding alternative dispute resolution conducted in Montgomery, Alabama, with the contract exclusively governed by Alabama law. The contract opportunity document does not identify specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises, incumbent vendors, or existing infrastructure requirements that would necessitate integration.
