ITB 20242002 Sub-surface Plumbing Supplies Price Agreement

The City of Eugene, located in Lane County, Oregon, is seeking to establish a five-year price agreement for sub-surface plumbing supplies primarily for the Public Works department through Invitation to Bid (ITB) 20242002. The procurement involves providing a comprehensive range of plumbing supplies, including various types of plastic pipes such as corrugated polyethylene, solid-wall polyethylene, steel reinforced polyethylene, polypropylene, and PVC pipes, along with associated fittings and components. Bidders must provide pricing for over 150 individual line items, with detailed specifications outlined in the Attachment A Pipe Specifications 2021 document, which requires adherence to ASTM and AASHTO standards. The bid was originally due on August 3, 2023, at 2:30 PM through the OregonBuys procurement system, with deliveries expected within one week of order placement to the City's Public Works Maintenance location. Products must meet the 2015 Oregon Specifications for Construction, and the City may award multiple contracts to ensure adequate product availability, timely delivery, and product compatibility.

The City encourages participation from minority, women, and emerging small businesses, demonstrating a commitment to diverse vendor engagement. While no specific set-aside percentages were explicitly detailed, the procurement documents indicate an openness to various business types. Interestingly, the Response Log and Abstract indicates that no bids were received for this solicitation, which may present an opportunity for potential vendors. The pricing structure allows for initial 12-month pricing with potential City-approved increases thereafter. The contract does not specify a precise budget range, but it is designed as a five-year price agreement to support ongoing public works infrastructure needs. The procurement emphasizes environmentally preferable products and seeks to establish a flexible supply arrangement that can accommodate the City of Eugene's sub-surface plumbing infrastructure requirements.
