Irrigation and Sprinkler Systems, Equipment, and Related Services - Reopened

The State of Utah Division of Purchasing is seeking proposals for a Statewide Cooperative Contract for Irrigation and Sprinkler Systems, Equipment, and Related Services through Solicitation #AS20-151. The procurement covers two distinct market baskets: Standard Irrigation & Sprinkler and Golf Irrigation and Sprinkler, which encompass comprehensive equipment including spray heads, rotor heads, valves, valve boxes, pipes, backflow preventors, controllers, and drip tubing. Vendors are required to propose a minimum percentage discount from manufacturer pricing and provide detailed information on warranties, certifications, emergency services, experience, and service capabilities. The evaluation process will involve assessing vendor responsiveness, with multiple contract awards anticipated for those receiving at least 650 points. Proposals were due by June 2, 2020, with the intended contract period running through March 24, 2025. The cooperative solicitation aims to secure equipment and services at lower prices and better value than typically available to individual government entities, with potential for incorporating new technological upgrades in irrigation and sprinkler systems.

The solicitation does not explicitly specify set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Incumbent vendors already identified for potential award include Turf Equipment & Irrigation Inc, Ewing Irrigation Products Inc, and Mountainland Supply, LLC. While specific budget ranges are not detailed in the provided documentation, the statewide cooperative nature suggests a potentially significant procurement scope across Utah's government and potentially participating local jurisdictions. The contract allows for flexibility in equipment and service offerings, with vendors expected to demonstrate comprehensive capabilities in irrigation and sprinkler system solutions. The procurement strategy emphasizes competitive pricing, technological adaptability, and comprehensive service capabilities as key considerations for vendor selection. The cooperative contract structure enables multiple vendors to be awarded, providing Utah agencies with a diverse range of procurement options for irrigation and sprinkler-related needs.
