Golf Irrigation and Sprinkler Systems, Supplies, and Related Services - Reopened

The State of Utah Division of Purchasing has issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) for a statewide cooperative contract focused specifically on Golf Irrigation and Sprinkler Systems, Supplies, and Related Services, designated as solicitation AS20-194. The procurement seeks to establish a contract for golf course irrigation equipment, including central control systems, field controllers, golf heads, valves, valve boxes, and related accessories. Vendors must provide a minimum percentage discount on catalog items and submit hourly labor rates, with an expectation to offer equipment, products, and services at prices lower than typically available to the public or individual government entities. The RFP requires vendors to demonstrate capabilities such as 24-hour delivery of stocked items, two-week delivery for special orders, compliance with US industry standards, and comprehensive warranties. Evaluation criteria include a minimum score threshold of 650 points, with multiple contract awards anticipated for responsive and responsible vendors. The solicitation was opened on 6/29/2020 with a closing date of 7/9/2020 at 2:00 PM MDT, and the resulting contract is set to expire on 3/24/2025.

The contract is designed to be a cooperative procurement, with eligible users including various state and local government entities, though no guaranteed purchase amounts are specified. While the document does not explicitly mention set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises, it appears open to qualified vendors who can meet the technical and performance requirements. Mountainland Supply, LLC was noted as an awarded contractor based on the justification statement. The procurement approach suggests a competitive solicitation where vendors can propose comprehensive solutions for golf course irrigation needs. Though specific award values are not detailed, the contract's statewide and cooperative nature implies potential significant volume and value for successful vendors who can effectively meet the technical specifications and provide competitive pricing.
