Purchase of 30" Duoseal Watertight Manhole Cover and Frame

The City of Yonkers Bureau of Purchasing is seeking quotations for a procurement of 6 units of 30" DUOSEAL Watertight Manhole Cover and Frame - Assembly (Series # W830) for its Sewer Bureau through Request for Quotation (RFQ) 2024-6994. The procurement is specifically for a specialized manhole cover designed for flood-prone areas, engineered to prevent discharges, protect against inflow, and suppress odors, with a bolted, dual-gasket design capable of withstanding 3 1/2 atmospheres of pressure. The product specifications require a heavy-duty rated, watertight Level 8 (L8) cover made of ductile iron with a gray iron frame, featuring closed pick bars, dual 3/8" diameter round neoprene gaskets, and stainless steel bolting. Vendors must provide fixed, firm unit prices that include shipping and delivery, with items subject to review by the City of Yonkers/Yonkers Public Services (YPS). The quote is due on 04/15/2024 at 02:00 PM, with delivery required as soon as possible (ASAP), and vendors are encouraged to list any applicable New York State or county contract numbers and their expiration dates.

The City of Yonkers allows vendors to indicate if they are a New York State Certified Minority or Women Owned Business Enterprise (MBE/WBE), suggesting potential set-aside or preference considerations for such businesses. The procurement preferences the awarding of the contract on an all-or-none basis but reserves the right to award by line item if deemed in the best interest of the city. Payment terms are Net 30 Days, and the city is exempt from sales and use taxes. Vendors must submit quotations via email to Katherine Castro and provide lead time for availability. While no specific budget range is indicated, the procurement is for 6 units of specialized manhole covers, which suggests a moderate-scale infrastructure investment. The product must be manufactured in the USA and meet ASTM A48 and ASTM A536 certifications, with potential options for special lettered covers, custom logo covers, and security bolting.
