Water Meter Boxes and Valve Boxes

Fulton County's Department of Purchasing & Contract Compliance is seeking e-quotes for water meter boxes and valve boxes through a Request for E-Quote (RFQ) for its Public Works Department. The procurement involves three specific product categories: 100 units of a DFW Meter Box Model 1219SL-18-1MQF DEEP (or equivalent), 20 units of a CDR Model Composite meter box with 24" x 36" x 18" dimensions and two mouse holes, and 100 units of a Cast Iron Water Meter Box. Vendors must submit complete descriptive literature, specifications, and proof of equivalency for alternative products, with the county reserving the right to be the sole judge of product acceptability. The e-quote is due on Monday, June 16, 2025, at 2:00 P.M., with the last day for submitting questions being Wednesday, June 11, 2025. The procurement term is 12 months, and vendors must be capable of delivering orders within 5-7 days after receiving a purchase order, with all items being new.

The county encourages participation from minority and female-owned businesses and maintains a non-discrimination policy. Vendors must register in the Vendor Self Service System to receive payment, which will be processed via Electronic Funds Transfer with net 30-day payment terms. The total contract value shall not exceed $100,000, with unit pricing to be determined by bidders. While no specific set-aside designations are explicitly detailed, the procurement language suggests a preference for diverse vendor participation. Vendors will be evaluated based on their ability to meet technical specifications, delivery capabilities, and competitive pricing. The procurement process allows for alternative product submissions, provided they meet or exceed the specified requirements, giving vendors flexibility in their proposal approach while maintaining the county's stringent quality standards.
