The procurement requires bidders to supply and install replacement systems for three existing pivots: a 1,253-foot system for Plot L6, a 1,219-foot system for Plot L9, and a 1,544-foot system for Plot L19, each including a new flow meter, dismantling of existing equipment, and relocation of displaced materials outside the circle. Specifications mandate detailed technical compliance including main pipe dimensions, truss design, tower construction with galvanized steel components, hydraulic systems operating at 25 PSI with a maximum of 35 PSI, 7.5 horsepower motors rated at 460-480 VAC three-phase, and tire specifications of 11R238 galvanized reinforced rims. Bidders must provide current printed literature and specification sheets with their submissions and describe any exceptions to stated specifications. The City will award the contract to either the lowest responsible bidder or the bidder offering the best value, considering price, quality, delivery time, and other relevant factors. Electronic bids or hand-delivered submissions were due by January 20, 2026, at 3:00 P.M. through the Bonfire portal or the City's Purchasing and Contract Management Department, with bid opening conducted via teleconference using a provided Zoom link. Bid prices must remain firm for a minimum of 60 days, be quoted F.O.B. delivered with all delivery and packaging costs included, and exclude tax, as the City is exempt from federal excise, state sales, and transportation taxes. Delivery timeframes must be specified in calendar days, with failure to specify resulting in a two-week delivery obligation, and a minimum five-day delivery advantage will break tie bids.
