About this opportunity
The Warwick Sewer Authority (WSA) in Rhode Island's Kent County is seeking competitive bids for procuring manhole frames and covers for upcoming capital projects through Bid2026-273. The solicitation requires vendors to supply 250 non-locking and 50 locking cast-iron manhole frames and covers, with distinct pricing categories for United States-manufactured and internationally-manufactured products. Sealed bids are due by 11:00 AM on November 6, 2025, at 65 Centerville Road, with contractors required to deliver specified materials within 14 calendar days of receiving a purchase order. The bid evaluation will focus on the lowest responsive bid price, with a clear preference for frames and covers manufactured domestically. Key specifications include 32" x 6" non-locking and 32" x 6 1/2" locking manhole frames and covers, with pricing to remain firm for one year from the award date and potential for a one-term extension upon mutual agreement.
The procurement allows for potential contract award through multiple cooperative purchasing platforms, including RI State MPA, NASPO, MHEC, Sourcewell, OMNIA OPUS, and GBPC, which suggests flexibility in vendor selection. While no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises are explicitly mentioned, the bid documents indicate an openness to various manufacturers, both domestic and international. The Warwick Sewer Authority reserves the right to consult and potentially make awards using pricing from these cooperative purchasing websites, which may broaden the competitive landscape. Though specific budget ranges are not detailed in the provided documentation, the procurement involves 300 total manhole frames and covers, suggesting a moderate-scale municipal infrastructure investment. The contract's one-year pricing commitment and potential extension indicate the authority's intent to establish a stable, long-term sourcing arrangement for critical sewer infrastructure components.
