Bidders are responsible for offloading costs at both locations. All pricing must be "Fully Delivered/Not to Exceed" inclusive of applicable lead times.

Evaluation applies a weighted scoring system: Cost of Material (50 points), Quality of Material (25 points), and Availability of Material (25 points). The anticipated award date is November 2, 2026. Written questions for clarification are due October 19, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. via email to procurement@fkec.com or through the VendorLink website. Payment is made upon delivery and receipt of invoices. FKEC reserves the right to inspect all materials at delivery against required specifications and may reject non-conforming deliveries. The purchase order remains valid through the bidder-provided delivery date; bidders may request purchase order extensions with written agreement from both parties.
