Purchase of various Hymax Couplings and EZMax Clamps, as needed

The City of Yonkers Bureau of Purchasing is seeking bids for a twelve-month contract (RFB-7446) to procure various Hymax 2000 Series Pipe Repair Couplings and EZ-Max Plus 4000 Series Pipe Repair Clamps, with an option to renew for an additional 12 months. The procurement covers 19 specific line items of hydraulic pipe repair couplings and clamps, ranging in diameter from 1.5 to 24 inches, to be delivered to the City of Yonkers Water Repair Shop at 170 Saw Mill River Road within 10 business days of receiving a purchase order. Technical specifications require products to meet stringent performance standards, including working pressures up to 260 psi, minimum deflection capabilities, and NSF-61 approved coatings. The bid is scheduled to be opened on May 30, 2025, at 2:00 PM in the Yonkers Riverfront Library Building Purchasing Office, with bidders required to complete several mandatory forms including a Vendor Background Questionnaire, Non-Collusive Bidding Certification, and Iran Divestment Act Certification. Evaluation criteria will likely focus on comprehensive pricing, technical compliance, and adherence to specified product performance requirements.

The City of Yonkers demonstrates a commitment to diversity by encouraging participation from minority and women-owned business enterprises (M/WBE), which may receive preferential consideration during the bidding process. Bidders must comply with civil rights ordinances and equal employment opportunity policies, suggesting potential set-aside provisions or point systems that advantage certified diverse businesses. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly stated, the detailed specification of 19 line items with quantities ranging from 2 to 24 units indicates a potential contract value that could be substantial for a municipal water infrastructure procurement. The contract appears designed for direct municipal use, with no indication of existing incumbent vendors or requirements for integration with specific existing infrastructure. Prospective bidders should carefully review all documentation, particularly technical specifications and certification requirements, to ensure full compliance with the City of Yonkers' procurement standards and to maximize their potential for contract award.
