The University of Wisconsin-Madison is seeking bids for heating plant parts from four specific manufacturers: Invensys Foxboro, Clyde Union, Fisher Emerson, and Atlas Copco. The procurement encompasses 90 specific line items across four lots, with estimated quantities ranging from one to ten units per item. Potential bidders must submit written questions by March 1, 2019, with final bids due by 2:00 p.m. CDT on March 14, 2019. The initial contract term is set for four years, running from April 1, 2019 through March 31, 2023, with potential automatic renewal for two additional one-year terms. Bidders are required to complete a Vendor Information Form, provide client references from the past three years, and certify compliance with debarment and non-discrimination requirements. Pricing must be submitted on a firm basis for one year, with fixed prices required for the entire initial contract term, and non-listed related items from manufacturers' catalogs must be available at a consistent percentage discount.

No specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises are mentioned in the procurement documents. The contract is open to University of Wisconsin-Madison departments, with potential extended purchasing eligibility to other UW System campuses, state agencies, and Wisconsin municipalities upon approval. The University does not guarantee minimum order quantities or dollar amounts, reserving the right to adjust quantities based on actual needs. Contractors must maintain commercial general liability insurance of at least $1,000,000 and provide insurance certificates upon award and annually thereafter. All deliveries will be FOB Destination, with the contractor responsible for delivery charges and loss risk. While no specific award value is detailed, the broad scope of 90 line items across multiple manufacturers suggests a potentially significant procurement opportunity for heating plant parts.
