The City of Madison Finance Department and Water Utility in Wisconsin has issued Request for Quotation (RFQ) #5417-0-2025-TJ for water main fittings and accessories, targeting cast iron mechanical joint pipe fittings that meet AWWA C110 specifications. The procurement covers various sizes of crosses, tees, and solid sleeves ranging from 4-inch to 20-inch diameters, with specific acceptable manufacturers including U.S. Pipe & Foundry, Trumbull, Tyler Union, Griffin Pipe Products, and J&E Earll Manufacturing. The solicitation requires bidders to provide unit pricing for specific quantities, such as one six-inch by four-inch cross, ten six-inch by six-inch tees, and multiple solid sleeves in different sizes. The RFQ was released on Tuesday, April 8, 2025, with responses due on Tuesday, April 22, 2025, at 2:00 PM CST, and delivery requirements specify F.O.B. delivery to Madison Water Utility at 110 S. Paterson Street, Madison, WI. Evaluation criteria will include cost, quality, compatibility, and past performance, with a potential local vendor preference scoring mechanism for suppliers registered on the City of Madison website.

The procurement does not explicitly outline specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Suppliers must provide 24-hour advance notice for delivery, and the City reserves the right to evaluate bids comprehensively. While specific budget ranges are not detailed in the available documentation, the procurement appears focused on supplying precise water main infrastructure components. The solicitation suggests potential for multiple vendors to be awarded based on meeting technical specifications and competitive pricing. No incumbent vendors are explicitly mentioned, and the RFQ does not indicate specific integration requirements with existing infrastructure beyond standard mechanical joint specifications for water main fittings.
