The solicitation encompasses four primary product categories: Mueller Super Centurion 250 A-423 fire hydrant assemblies rated for 250 psi working pressure; fire hydrant repair parts and tools manufactured by Mueller Water Products; resilient wedge gate valves with 250 psi minimum working pressure and non-rising stem design; and gray cast iron valve box assemblies rated for H20 traffic loading. All materials must comply with applicable federal and state safety standards, including OSHA requirements and relevant industry standards such as AWWA C-502, ANSI/NSF-61, AWWA C-515, and ASTM specifications. Bidders must demonstrate the ability to supply 90 percent of required parts within 24 hours and the remaining 10 percent within 72 hours, with failure to meet these delivery requirements potentially resulting in contract termination. All products must be currently in production manufacturer standard models with one-year warranty coverage on all parts and services following delivery. Pricing must include a 5 percent discount option for payment within 10 days or net 30 calendar days otherwise. The bid submission deadline is November 13, 2025, with the posting date of October 3, 2025.

The solicitation documents do not specify set-aside designations or restrictions on organization types that can respond to this procurement. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are identified in the available materials. Bidders may submit optional multi-year purchase proposals covering three years of service and parts, though the City of Atlanta Code of Ordinance prohibits obligating future budget years beyond the current fiscal period. All equipment must be energy efficient, meeting Energy Star specifications or upper 25 percent efficiency criteria, with bidders required to provide instruction manuals and certifications demonstrating compliance with all specified requirements prior to award. The City reserves the right to increase or decrease quantities without penalty and requires successful vendors to submit an itemized annual Report of Purchases within 15 days of the agreement anniversary date, with failure to submit resulting in forfeiture of future City contracts.
