Nichols - Backflow Valve Replacement

Bill Nichols State Veterans Home is soliciting Quick Quote responses to replace a relief valve that failed testing on its #1 domestic backflow device, with responses due November 4, 2026. Suppliers must be registered in Alabama Buys and submit electronically through that platform before the close date. Required compliance certifications include E-Verify enrollment verification for suppliers employing Alabama workers, Alabama sales tax certification, and debarment and suspension certification.

Work is performed at the home's Alexander City, Alabama campus during normal weekday hours, Monday through Friday, 7:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. The vendor must replace the valve, retest the #1 domestic backflow device, and provide documentation for code compliance. An onsite review is available by arrangement with Kathryn Fuller at 256-329-3311 or Kathryn.Fuller@va.alabama.gov.

The total contract cost is capped at $25,000, the not-to-exceed amount. The contract may be renewed annually by written agreement up to that $25,000 total or five years from the effective date, whichever is reached first. The state may consider price escalation requests if supported by documentation, with approved increases capped at 5 percent of annual contract cost and counted against the $25,000 total. The state reserves the right to conduct cost realism and price reasonableness analysis on all bids. Bids exceeding $25,000 require a completed Disclosure Statement filed within ten days of award.
