The contract period will run from October 1, 2024, through December 16, 2024. Pueblo Water reserves the right to adjust ordered quantities based on unit pricing and will evaluate bids on the aggregate total pricing. Vendors must submit bids using the provided bid form, quoting unit prices for each bearing size, with Pueblo Water potentially awarding the contract to the lowest total bidder.

Pueblo Water offers multiple payment methods, including E-Payables (preferred), Procurement Card (P-Card), and Check/ACH, with payment terms ranging from Net 15 to Net 60. The bid includes standard procurement terms such as freight FOB destination, with full contractor responsibility for transportation and delivery. An addendum (Addendum 01) was issued updating the part number for the 3 15/16" bearing to P2B-BASP-315, which must be included with the signed proposal. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly stated, the procurement allows for potential contract modifications and negotiation, particularly if only a single responsive bidder is received.
