Hydraulic Hose, Fittings, and Industrial Supplies

Pierce County, Washington is soliciting bids on hydraulic hoses, hydraulic fittings, and related industrial MRO supplies under ITB 2026-ITB-158, with bids due July 24, 2026 and questions due July 20, 2026.

The scope includes unit pricing on 59 core bid items from Eaton, Dixon, and Kuriyama, with bidders required to quote all core items to be considered responsive. The contractor must deliver standard orders within 24 hours of purchase order receipt to the Equipment Services Section in Spanaway and emergency orders within four hours at no additional cost. The contractor must perform weekly in-person stock replenishment visits and maintain a facility in close proximity to support delivery and service requirements. All costs except sales tax must be included in unit bid prices; delivery charges, handling fees, fuel surcharges, and emergency delivery fees are not permitted. Bidders may also provide additional products through current price lists or online catalogs at specified discount or markup structures.

The initial contract estimate is $100,000 per year, with an estimated five-year total of $500,000 based on current usage patterns, though no minimum quantities are guaranteed. The contract term is one year with four one-year automatic renewal options at the County's sole discretion. Prices are firm for the first 12 months; subsequent adjustments require County approval and documented cost justification. The County awards to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder and reserves the right to purchase from alternate sources if the awarded vendor cannot meet delivery requirements.

Bid security is not required. The successful bidder must provide a signed contract, certificate of insurance listing Pierce County as an additional insured, and compliance documentation within ten days of award notification. The bid opening will occur 30 minutes after the submission deadline via webcast. Questions must be submitted through Pierce County ProcureWare software.
