Ingersoll Rand Model R11 Compressor

Pima County is seeking a Request for Quote (RFQ-2500018164) for the procurement of one Ingersoll Rand Model R11 Compressor with specific accessories for its Regional Wastewater Reclamation Department. The solicitation requires a new, current production model compressor that includes a dryer, oil water separator, and comprehensive start-up service to be performed by an authorized Ingersoll Rand technician. Qualified vendors must be authorized to resell Ingersoll Rand compressors and have been in the business of providing these compressors for a minimum of three consecutive years. The bid is due on October 1, 2025, at or before 2:00 P.M. local Tucson time, with submissions to be made through the BidNet solicitation portal. Contractors must deliver the compressor on or before June 30th, 2026, to Pima County Accounts Payable. The procurement requires comprehensive insurance coverage, including commercial general liability, business automobile liability, and workers' compensation, with specific endorsement and verification requirements. Payment terms are net 30 days, with potential early payment discounts available.

The solicitation includes a Small Business Enterprise (SBE) preference, offering a 5% bid preference for firms submitting SBE Certificates from the City of Tucson for contracts not exceeding $500,000 per contract year. This provision creates a potential advantage for smaller, local businesses participating in the procurement process. While the specific budget range is not explicitly stated in the documentation, the procurement is focused on a specialized piece of equipment for the county's wastewater reclamation infrastructure. The RFQ indicates that only vendors with specific qualifications and authorizations from Ingersoll Rand can participate, which narrows the potential pool of bidders. Contractors must possess necessary permits and licenses, demonstrating a commitment to ensuring only qualified and experienced vendors can submit proposals. The detailed requirements suggest the county is seeking a high-quality, reliable compressor solution that meets precise technical and operational specifications for its wastewater infrastructure.
