The City of Rochester Hills, located in Oakland County, Michigan, is seeking competitive quotations for a citywide blanket purchase order of Miscellaneous Plumbing Supplies through Solicitation for Quotation (SFQ-RH-25-015). The procurement is structured as a one-year contract with two potential one-year renewals, targeting an estimated annual expenditure of approximately $15,000. Vendors are required to provide unit prices for 20 specific plumbing items, including various gaskets, valves, fittings, and replacement parts from specified brands. Evaluation criteria include price, availability, service, and the ability to provide immediate supply of parts for emergency repairs. Vendors must submit quotes that include percentage discounts off specified brand prices, lead times, minimum order requirements, delivery methods, and payment preferences. The solicitation's key deadline is Wednesday, April 23, 2025, at 4:00 PM EST, with all questions directed to Amber Beauchamp, Procurement Analyst, via email at beauchampa@rochesterhills.org. Proposed prices must remain in effect for at least 90 days from the quote due date, with the successful vendor's prices remaining firm for the entire contract period.

The solicitation does not explicitly mention specific set-aside designations or restrictions on respondent types. The City reserves the right to split or abstract quote proposals and potentially award multiple contracts based on comprehensive evaluation criteria. No incumbent vendors are specifically identified in the documentation. The procurement allows for flexible vendor participation, with vendors able to quote discounts on specific brand prices that will be used to calculate pricing for additional items not explicitly listed. The total estimated contract value is $15,000 annually, with potential for two additional one-year renewals. Notably, municipalities are exempt from Michigan State Sales and Federal Excise taxes, which may impact the overall contract economics. The contract includes provisions for emergency purchases and quality assurance, suggesting a focus on responsive and reliable supply of critical plumbing infrastructure components for municipal operations.
