PWC Punderson Lift Station Pump

The Ohio Department of Natural Resources (DNR) is seeking a specific lift station pump for Punderson State Park, located at 11755 Kinsman Rd., Newbury, Ohio 44065, through a Request for Quotation (RFQ) issued for Geauga County. The procurement requires one exact pump with no substitutions or equivalents permitted, to be delivered by October 31, 2025. The contract will be awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, determined through calculation of the low lot total by multiplying unit costs by estimated usage. Key submission requirements include comprehensive documentation, precise invoicing to Financial Shared Services via email or mail, and inclusion of specific details such as purchase order number, supplier information, itemized charges, and service dates. The procurement is time-sensitive, with the purchase order valid only through June 30, 2025, necessitating a new purchase order for any goods or services extending beyond that date. Bidders must carefully adhere to all specified requirements and provide complete documentation to be considered for contract award.

The procurement appears to be open to all qualified vendors, with no specific set-aside designations explicitly mentioned in the available documentation. While the RFQ does not specify restrictions on organizational type, the State of Ohio's standard terms and conditions document suggests potential preferences for minority and diverse business enterprises. The OhioBuys procurement platform, which facilitates this solicitation, provides opportunities for various suppliers to register and access procurement opportunities through a standardized OH|ID single sign-on system. Although a specific budget range is not disclosed in the provided documents, the procurement is for a single pump with standard state government financial processing protocols. Bidders should note that no state sales tax will be applied, and the contract is subject to standard state government procurement regulations. Interested suppliers can access additional information and submit proposals through the OhioBuys platform, which offers support resources including webinars, eLearning videos, and job aids to assist in the bidding process.
