Purchase of Filter Bags and Pulse Jet Filter Bag Cages

Jacksonville Electric Authority is requesting proposals for filter bags (FILBG004) and pulse jet filter bag cages (AQCWH006) under RFP 1412229878, with responses due November 17, 2026 at 12:00 PM EST and an optional pre-response meeting on October 27, 2026 at 10:00 AM via Microsoft Teams or teleconference. Vendors must be approved manufacturers or authorized distributors from a specified list; no substitute products are permitted. Minimum qualifications include absence from the State of Florida Convicted Vendor List, Suspended Vendor List, and City of Jacksonville's Disqualified Vendor List, plus verification of ability to meet all technical specifications outlined in Appendix A.

Immediate demand is 2,080 units each of cages and filter bags, with three-year projected demand of 6,240 units for each item. Delivery for immediate purchase must occur between March 15 and April 1, 2027. The contract is a one-time purchase with an optional three-year agreement, renewable at JEA's option for two additional one-year periods contingent on appropriated funds. Cages must be delivered on specified pine-wood pallets per drawing control number 310040; vendors must provide lead times in calendar days after order receipt and confirm country of origin for all items.

Filter bags are awarded to the lowest-cost, best-lead-time responsive and responsible respondent meeting minimum qualifications. Pulse jet filter bag cages are evaluated on quotation of rates (60 points), delivery and logistics capabilities including ability to store at supplier site if production occurs early (30 points), and terms, tariffs, and country of origin compliance (10 points). Pricing must be firm-fixed, inclusive of all profit, delivery, taxes, and overhead. First-year pricing is firm; thereafter, annual CPI adjustments up to 3% are permitted. Failure to meet delivery deadlines triggers liquidated damages provisions. Offsite storage at no cost to JEA is required until Spring 2028 if delivery does not occur by May 18, 2027. Standard payment terms are 1/20 net 30 or 2/10 net 30. Contract bonds equal to 100 percent of the bid award may be required upon award. Samples may be required before or after bid opening.
