Spare Inlet Pump (PRF 016)

The City of Boise Public Works Department is requesting sealed bids for a spare inlet vertical lineshaft pump for the Phosphorus Removal Facility under a formal bid solicitation, with bids due September 2, 2026 at 11:00 a.m. MDT. The City has standardized to MWI Corporation for Vertical Axial Flow Pumps under specification SS-2026-516 and will not consider or-equal requests for alternative brands — a single-source specification that filters competition.

The scope comprises one spare inlet pump to be stored at the PRF as a replacement unit for maintenance purposes, including submittal preparation, fabrication, shipment, and related services. Delivery is to the Phosphorus Removal Facility at 24793 Boise River Road, Parma, Idaho.

The estimated project cost is $250,000. Questions are due August 29, 2026 at 12:00 p.m. MDT. No pre-bid conference was scheduled. Bids must be submitted electronically in required format with written signatures; unsigned bids will not be accepted. The City accepts only bids that are electronically time-stamped before the deadline. Bidders may witness the virtual bid opening via Microsoft Teams. The City is exempt from Federal and State taxes and will execute required exemption certificates. The City reserves the right to reject any and all bids, waive irregularities, and accept the bid(s) deemed in the best interest of the City. Bret Smith is the project point of contact at the facility.
