The procurement is specifically for a Xylem/Flygt model NT 3301 HT 3 ~ 462 with MiniCAS II monitoring and status unit, which must match an existing pump at the site.

The evaluation and award process will focus on selecting the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, with bid pricing required to be FOB Destination and include all taxes, tariffs, and delivery costs.

No specific set-aside designations or restrictions on responding organizations were explicitly detailed in the procurement documents. The apparent low bidder is Xylem Water Solutions USA, Inc., with a bid amount of $102,996.47. The pump must integrate with existing infrastructure at the Willamette Pump Station, specifically matching the characteristics of a currently installed pump. The procurement appears to be a direct replacement and standardization effort for the water management system. The budget for this procurement is approximately $102,996.47, representing the total cost for the single Flygt pump. The contract will be awarded by Clackamas County, with the jurisdiction spanning Clackamas County and Oregon City, and the procurement is being conducted through Clackamas Water Environment Services.
