Kennedy Fire Hydrants; Model K81AW and 6 Additional Gaskets

The Town of Cortlandt in Westchester County, New York, is seeking to procure six Kennedy K81AW Spin-In Fire Hydrants through a competitive bid process (Bid #TOC 2025-09) with a specific set of technical requirements. The procurement includes six red, bronze-lined fire hydrants with 4.5" main valve opening, 5' burial depth, 3-way NST outlets, and open left configuration with a 1-1/2" pent op nut, along with six corresponding gaskets for spin-in installation. The bid documents specify that the hydrants must be compatible with the town's existing Kennedy Hydrant inventory and meet AWWA C-502 standards. The bid is scheduled to be opened on July 3, 2025, at 2:00 PM, with vendors required to download bid documents from the Empire State Bid System website and potentially provide detailed product specifications from Kennedy Valve's product catalog. Evaluation criteria appear to focus on lowest net unit price, compliance with technical specifications, and adherence to municipal procurement standards.

The procurement appears to be open to all qualified vendors without specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises. Vendors must provide proof of insurance, including $1 million in general liability and automobile liability coverage, and comply with prevailing wage laws and Iranian Energy Sector Divestment requirements. While a specific budget range is not explicitly stated, this appears to be a one-time purchase with potential for other municipal and not-for-profit organizations to participate under New York General Municipal Law. The Town of Cortlandt is tax-exempt and reserves the right to award the contract based on the most advantageous bid. Interested vendors can obtain additional information through BidNet (800-835-4603) or the Town of Cortlandt Purchasing Department (914-734-1046). The procurement is facilitated through the Empire State Purchasing Group, which aims to streamline the municipal procurement process for fire protection equipment.
