Miscellaneous Waterworks Products

The City of Spokane issued an Invitation to Bid (ITB 5546‑21) for a broad range of miscellaneous waterworks products needed by its Water & Hydroelectric Services department for the 2022 construction and maintenance season. The solicitation called for outright purchase of a large inventory of pipe‑related hardware, with split deliveries to accommodate limited warehouse space; lead time was a key evaluation factor. After competitive bidding, the contract was awarded to three vendors—Core & Main, H D Fowler Co., and Pacific Plumbing Supply Company LLC—allowing the city to distribute quantities among multiple suppliers and satisfy council approval requirements. • Scope includes couplings, repair clamps, restrained glands, tapping sleeves, ductile‑iron fittings, copper and HDPE pipe, gaskets, bolts, hydrant parts, air and check valves. • Total bid value (including 9 % sales tax) amounts to approximately $413,011. • Award was split among three vendors under an open competition; delivery is targeted for 5/26/2022 for most items.
