Purchase of submersible grinder pump ststions and accessories

The Town of Ramapo in Rockland County, New York, is soliciting sealed bids for the purchase of submersible grinder pump stations and accessories, with bids scheduled to be opened on March 13th, 2025, at 11:00 A.M. The procurement seeks Myers brand submersible grinder pumps and related components, including stationary and rotating cutters, pumps with various cord lengths and specifications, and pump accessories. The town currently operates four pumping stations with WG-30 pumps and two stations with WG-50 pumps, requiring pumps compatible with existing 230V or 480V electrical systems in single or three-phase configurations. Equipment suppliers must be Myers Factory Authorized Environmental Sales and Service stocking distributors located within 60 miles of Ramapo, with technicians available 24/7 and capable of responding within two hours of a service call. The contract term is from March 13th, 2025, through March 14th, 2026, with an option to extend for one additional year, and the pricing schedule includes multiple line items for specific pump components and assemblies.

The bid does not explicitly mention set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. The town is tax-exempt and will base contract payments on satisfactory delivery of items, expecting the successful bidder to furnish items promptly and on short notice. While no incumbent vendors are specified, the procurement emphasizes compatibility with existing infrastructure, particularly the current WG-30 and WG-50 pump systems. The bid requires comprehensive technical specifications for pumps, including detailed requirements for motor characteristics, grinding capabilities, materials, and construction standards. No specific budget range or award value is explicitly stated in the documentation, but the pricing schedule suggests a potentially significant investment in municipal infrastructure upgrades. The successful bidder will need to provide precise pricing for individual pump components and complete pump assemblies, with the understanding that all prices must remain firm and no price adjustments will be permitted during the contract period.
