Purchase of ductile iron pipe

The City of Yonkers, located in Westchester County, New York, is conducting a Request for Quotation (RFQ 2024-6999) for the procurement of ductile iron pipes through the Bureau of Purchasing. The specific procurement involves the acquisition of six 10" x 8' ductile iron pipes and six 12" x 8' ductile iron pipes, with delivery requirements mandating receipt as soon as possible and no later than April 18, 2024, at 10am. Vendors must submit their quotations via email to Allison Correia, with unit prices that include inside delivery to Yonkers, NY 10701. The RFQ stipulates that all price quotes must be firm with no price adjustments allowed, and quoted prices shall encompass all incidental costs including freight, packaging, materials, labor, fees, overhead, and profit. Key evaluation criteria include compliance with non-collusion certification, completion of the provided vendor form, and adherence to the specified product requirements. Vendors are explicitly informed that substitutions are not permitted, and the procurement process emphasizes competitive and independent pricing.

The solicitation does not explicitly specify set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. The City of Yonkers is tax-exempt, which means vendors will not be required to collect tax when presented with the city's official purchase order. No information is provided about incumbent vendors or existing infrastructure that might require integration. The RFQ does not outline a specific budget range or maximum award value for the ductile iron pipe procurement. Vendors must complete a certification of non-collusion, warranting that their bid was arrived at independently and without aims to restrict competition. The procurement appears to be a straightforward, time-sensitive acquisition of specific pipe specifications for municipal infrastructure or maintenance purposes, with a rapid turnaround expected from potential suppliers.
