Palm Beach County Board of County Commissioners is requesting pre-qualification applications for ductile iron pipe and fittings under a term contract (RPQ #26-035/BB), with an initial submission deadline of April 9, 2026 at 4:00 p.m. and continuing acceptance of new vendor applications thereafter; the contract term extends through May 4, 2031.

A 5% local preference applies to Palm Beach County businesses. Vendors must maintain current Florida Business Tax Receipts and comply with federal, state, county, and local laws including ANSI and NFPA standards throughout the contract term.

The scope covers ductile iron pipe ranging from 4 inches to 24 inches in diameter and associated fittings including bends, tees, caps, and mechanical joint components meeting American Water Works Association (AWWA) standards. Products must be free from defects and new merchandise. Deliveries are made during normal county working hours on a project-specific, as-needed basis with timelines specified in individual delivery orders.

This is a pre-qualified vendor arrangement with project-specific pricing quotes required from qualified vendors on demand. Pricing responses must reflect firm prices and remain valid for ten days from submittal unless otherwise specified. The County reserves the right to accept or reject any or all pre-qualifications and may acquire goods through State of Florida contracts if pricing proves more favorable.

Vendor registration in the County's Vendor Self Service system is mandatory before contract finalization; all subcontractors must also be registered. The contract is subject to the Florida Prompt Payment Act, and vendors may participate in the County's Payment Manager Program for credit card payments. Responses are submitted to Palm Beach County Purchasing Department at 50 South Military Trail, Suite 110, West Palm Beach, Florida 33415.
