Scaletron model 2350 digital dual cylinder scale RE-bid

The City of Jacksonville, located in North Carolina, is conducting a re-bid procurement for three Scaletron Model 2350 Digital Dual Cylinder Scales with Accupro 5000 Digital Controllers, specifically intended for the Jacksonville Water Treatment Plant. These specialized weighing units are designed to simultaneously weigh two 12" diameter cylinders with a gross capacity up to 349 lbs, featuring corrosion-resistant construction, two weighing platforms, and a two-channel digital controller. The Request for Bids (RFB) requires vendors to submit detailed quotes or signed bid documents via email to Angela Stewart by 4:00 P.M. on August 30, 2023. Potential bidders must submit any questions in writing to Angela Stewart by 4:00 P.M. two days prior to the bid closing, and are expected to include 7% North Carolina sales tax in their pricing. Vendors must also list shipping charges and provide a lead time for delivery, and if not currently a city vendor, must be prepared to submit a Vendor Application and W-9 within three business days of notification.

The procurement appears to have no specific set-aside designations or restrictions on vendor participation, and no incumbent vendor is mentioned in the documentation. The city will pay approved invoices within 30 days and reserves the right to waive informalities or reject any bids. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the procurement involves three digital cylinder scale units with associated digital controllers and accessories. The city is exempt from federal excise tax but will pay applicable state and county sales tax. Vendors must comply with the city's Purchase Order Terms and Conditions, which include requirements for Commercial General Liability insurance of at least $1,000,000 per occurrence, adherence to E-Verify requirements, and compliance with local, state, and federal laws. The total procurement value is not precisely defined, but would likely encompass the cost of three complete scale systems, associated shipping, and applicable taxes.
