About this opportunity

The City of Madison, Wisconsin, through its Finance Department's Purchasing Services division and Madison Water Utility, issued Request for Quotation (RFQ) #4825-0-2019-BO for valve boxes and related components. The procurement sought 200 complete three-piece screw-type valve box sets with lids, 100 valve box lids, 100 top sections, various extensions (No. 57, 58, and 59), and 100 No. 6030 Rite-Hite screw-type adapters. All materials must be tar-coated cast iron and conform to Bingham and Taylor model standards. The solicitation required bidders to specify delivery timeframes and confirm pricing durability, with delivery mandated to Madison Water Utility at 110 S. Paterson Street. Key evaluation criteria included cost, quality, compatibility, warranty, delivery, past performance, and service capability. Critical dates for this procurement included a questions due date of May 6, 2019, answer provision by May 10, 2019, and final quotation submissions due by May 15, 2019, at 1:00 PM CST.

The RFQ incorporated a local vendor preference scoring advantage for registered local suppliers, which significantly impacted the award determination. Three suppliers submitted bids: First Supply LLC, Core & Main, and ETNA, with First Supply LLC ultimately being awarded the contract at $57,608.10 after local vendor discount. Both First Supply LLC and ETNA were identified as local vendors, which influenced the procurement outcome. Partial orders were acceptable, and quotes could not be withdrawn for 90 days after the bid due date. Bidders were required to submit Form A (Price Proposal) and Form B (Bidder Information) to be eligible for preference consideration. The materials were to be shipped in crates or bundles on pallets, designed for unloading with overhead crane and slings, with FOB Madison terms. Unit prices varied considerably across bidders, with 3-piece valve box sets ranging from $147.50 to $215.95 per unit, demonstrating the competitive nature of the procurement.
