LMI series c chemical metering pump

The City of Saginaw is soliciting sealed bid proposals for a specific LMI Series C Chemical Metering Pump through a competitive bidding process located in Saginaw County, Michigan. The procurement is specifically for one (1) LMI Series C7 Chemical Feed Pump, Model #C781-36, with strict specifications requiring an "All or None" submission with "No Substitutions" allowed. The bid is scheduled to be due on July 8, 2025, at 3:00 PM, with bid documents available for download on the City of Saginaw's website. Bidders must submit an original bid proposal plus one copy, and for bids exceeding $100,000, a mandatory 5% bid bond is required. Vendors must specify payment terms, delivery lead times, and shipping/handling costs, with invoices to be submitted within 60 days of delivery and reference a valid purchase order number. The final delivery location for the equipment will be 522 Ezra Rust Drive, Saginaw, MI 48601.

The solicitation includes several unique provisions that may impact vendor eligibility, including a local bidder preference that allows Saginaw-based businesses within 5% of the lowest bid to match and potentially win the contract. Vendors must demonstrate compliance with Ordinance 14.33 and adhere to the Michigan Iran Economic Sanctions Act. The City reserves the right to request items on an "as needed" basis and potentially extend the agreement for up to two additional one-year terms while maintaining original pricing and terms. Specific vendor insurance requirements and documentation must be met to be considered responsive. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the procurement suggests this is a targeted equipment acquisition for municipal water treatment infrastructure. The City maintains discretion in awarding the contract and is not obligated to select the lowest bidder, with evaluation likely focusing on complete compliance with specifications, local economic impact, and overall value proposition.
