Hoses & Fittings

The Long Beach Water Department is requesting quotes for hoses, fittings, and custom hose assemblies on an RFQ basis, with quotes due November 16, 2022 at 11:00 a.m. The contractor must maintain a distribution center within a 15-mile radius of LBWD and provide 24-hour emergency will-call service — both are binding location and service-level requirements.

The scope covers 52 specific line items including oil return hoses, clamps, hydraulic fittings, ball valves, and pressure washer hoses, with percentage discounts required on products from ten named manufacturers: Kuriyama, Dixon, Brennan, Gates, Reelcraft, Bendix, Lincoln, Continental, Alkon, and Flexhaust. Delivery is FOB destination to 1841 East 33rd Street, Long Beach, California 90807, with a two-business-day delivery window from order receipt during regular business hours (8:00 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., Monday through Friday). The contractor must accommodate next-day or overnight emergency orders and maintain adequate inventory for timely fulfillment.

The contract term is one year with unit prices and percentage discounts held firm for the entire period. No minimum order or usage guarantee is stated. Award will be based on unit prices and discounts while meeting specification requirements; LBWD reserves the right to award single or multiple contracts and to include or exclude bid items. Payment occurs within 30 days of invoice following delivery and acceptance. Liquidated damages of $50 per calendar day apply for delivery delays beyond two business days.

The contractor must carry $1 million combined single limit general liability insurance, maintain a valid California Contractor's License, obtain a Long Beach Business License, and provide a 90-day warranty on parts and labor with free replacement of defective items. Pricing must include all delivery charges and associated fees. Quotes should be submitted via email to Armando.Arzate@lbwater.org.
