Multiple city water project materials

The City of Idaho Falls Water Division is seeking sealed bids for Multiple City Water Project Materials through an electronic solicitation (Bid Number IF-25-012) to be submitted via the BidNet platform by 2:00 PM Mountain Standard Time on Tuesday, February 18th, 2025. The procurement encompasses six specific water and infrastructure projects, including storm system updates, park drive realignment, lift station upgrades, and water line installations at various intersections. Specific material requirements include 8-inch push-on joint pipes and 16-inch CL50 water pipe materials, with approved vendors including US Pipe Co, McWane Ductile, and American Pipe Co. Bidders must submit questions and clarification requests by 2:00 PM PST on February 14th, 2025, with responses posted by 4:00 PM MST on February 17th, 2025. The bid evaluation will focus on lowest total cost and delivery date, with the City reserving the right to purchase all or some listed items. Bidders must provide new, current production equipment meeting or exceeding specifications, and the bid will remain valid for 60 working days after opening.

The solicitation includes several notable legal and compliance requirements, including a preference for Idaho domiciled bidders and compliance with Idaho Code preferences. Bidders must provide mandatory certification of eligibility, including an Anti-Boycott Against Israel Act certification and a Certificate of No Chinese Ownership. As of January 2014, the City requires compliance with federal regulations on "no lead brass alloys," with any bids containing lead-based products considered invalid. Delivery is restricted to local vendors, with 24 hours' notice required prior to delivery. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly detailed, the comprehensive nature of the project suggests a significant infrastructure investment. The procurement is open to vendors who can meet the technical specifications, comply with legal requirements, and demonstrate the ability to deliver water project materials within the specified timeframes and quality standards.
