HDPE Pipe and Fittings

Chautauqua County is seeking bids for a procurement of High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) Pipe and Fittings through Bid No. S-2-25 PFS, specifically for the Department of Public Facilities Landfill. The county requires multiple pipe configurations including 1,000 feet of 4-inch solid pipe, 3,000 feet of 4-inch perforated pipe, 600 feet of 4-inch SDR 17 solid pipe, 1,000 feet of 6-inch SDR 17 solid pipe, and 6,000 feet of 6-inch SDR 17 perforated pipe. Bidders must provide comprehensive pricing for these pipe and fitting specifications, with pricing to remain firm for the first year and potential price adjustments limited to 3% per 12-month period. Key requirements include local service and technical support within 100 miles of the county, a full-service facility, and demonstrated financial capability to support the county's requirements. The bid was issued on May 5, 2025, with questions due by May 12, 2025, and bids scheduled to be opened on May 15, 2025 at 2:00 p.m. Evaluation criteria will include pricing, local support capabilities, and compliance with required certifications.

The county encourages bids from minority-owned, women-owned, small, and disadvantaged business enterprises, with specific provisions for such organizations to participate in the bidding process. Bidders must submit various certifications including non-collusion, Iranian divestment, financial affidavit, and exclusion checks. The county reserves the right to terminate the contract with 30 days' written notice and will conduct exclusion checks on potential contractors. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the procurement involves a significant quantity of specialized piping materials for landfill infrastructure. The county is exempt from federal and state taxes, which may provide additional financial considerations for potential vendors. Contractors must demonstrate not only competitive pricing but also technical expertise in HDPE piping systems and the ability to provide comprehensive support for the county's infrastructure needs.
