Eweb ITB 23-053-G low lead brass fittings

The Eugene Water & Electric Board (EWEB) is conducting an Invitation to Bid (ITB) #23-053-G for low lead brass fittings to be used in its water distribution system, serving Lane County and the City of Eugene, Oregon. The procurement seeks bids from companies capable of providing a comprehensive range of brass products, including 106 specific line items such as corporation stops, angle meter stops, couplings, unions, nipples, elbows, tees, and plugs. Bidders must submit detailed pricing, manufacturer information, and comply with EWEB's sustainability and insurance requirements. The bid is due on May 3, 2023, at 2:00 PM PT, with the contract to be awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder. EWEB will evaluate bids based on unit pricing, manufacturer specifications, and overall compliance with the solicitation documents. The contract will have an initial term with potential annual price adjustments up to 3%, subject to EWEB's approval and supporting documentation from the contractor.

The solicitation does not explicitly indicate any specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged business enterprises. The contract allows for potential annual contract renewals for up to four additional one-year periods, with a total potential contract duration of five years from the date of execution. While no incumbent vendors are mentioned, the bid documents suggest EWEB will purchase these low lead brass fittings on an as-needed basis, with estimated annual usage quantities provided for each product type. The bid form includes a total pricing structure for both one-year and five-year periods, though no specific budget range or total contract value is explicitly stated. Bidders are required to provide comprehensive pricing information, including unit prices for each of the 106 listed brass fitting items, and must be prepared to meet EWEB's technical specifications and contractual requirements for low lead brass fittings used in municipal water infrastructure.
