ITB 24-18261-LV Butterfly Valves

The City of Lubbock, Texas is issuing an Invitation to Bid (ITB) for the procurement of six 24-inch butterfly valves. The City operates two pumping stations that deliver raw water from the Lake Alan Henry reservoir to the water treatment facility, and the existing butterfly valves at these stations have experienced in-service failures, necessitating their replacement. The winning bidder will be required to provide shop drawings and product information, manufacture the replacement valves, and deliver them to the City for installation. The valves must meet specific requirements, including AWWA Class 250B, ANSI FLG 250, and a CWP of 250. The winning bidder will also be required to provide a one-year warranty on the valves. Bids must be submitted electronically through the City's Bonfire portal or physically delivered by October 1, 2024 prior to 2:00 PM. The City reserves the right to reject any or all bids and will award the contract to the lowest responsible bidder or the bidder that provides the best value to the City.

The ITB does not mention any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. The City encourages bidders to submit products with recycled content to address environmental concerns, but there are no specific requirements or preferences stated. The ITB does not list any incumbent vendors or current contractors, and there is no information provided about existing infrastructure or technology that requires integration. The total award value is not specified, but the City is seeking to replace six 24-inch butterfly valves at its pumping stations.
