Ultrasonic Gauge and Ultrasonic Flow Meter kit

The Colorado Division of Water Resources under the Department of Natural Resources is issuing a sole-source procurement for an Ultrasonic Gauge and Ultrasonic Flow Meter kit to serve Denver County and Denver City. The solicitation requests quotes for two Fuji Electric Portaflow-C Ultrasonic Flow Meter Kits designed for pipes ranging from 2 to 48 inches, with each kit including a FSCS10A2-00Y flow meter, transducer, Velcro straps, coupling compound, signal cable, and NIST-traceable calibration certificate, as well as one Fuji FS-200 Ultrasonic thickness gauge with a standard 5MHz transducer. This is explicitly designated as a sole-brand-specific solicitation with no alternative makes or models accepted. Prospective bidders must submit quotes to Allan Smith at the Purchasing Office in Denver, Colorado, with pricing to include all freight and shipping costs on an F.O.B.

Bidders must be registered on the Colorado Vendor Self-Service system, include a completed W-9 form, confirm acceptance of Colorado purchase order terms and conditions, and provide their Federal Employer Identification Number, company information, contact details, signature authorization, and earliest available delivery date as part of their quote submission.

The procurement documents do not identify specific set-asides or restrictions limiting responses to particular categories of organizations, though all bidders must comply with standard state requirements including Occupational Safety and Health Act compliance, provision of Material Safety Data Sheets for hazardous materials, workers' compensation insurance, and employment eligibility verification through the E-Verify Program where applicable. No incumbent vendors or existing technology integration requirements are specified in the available documentation. Payment terms are structured at Net 45 days following invoice receipt, with interest accruing at the rate specified in CRS 24-30-202(24) on unpaid balances beginning the 46th day.
