The City of Spokane, Washington issued a value‑blanket RFQ (RFQ 5750‑22) for free‑chlorine reagent sets to be used by its Water & Hydroelectric Services department. The contract is structured as a blanket purchase agreement allowing the City to place individual orders (up to a five‑year term) on an as‑needed basis, with firm pricing that must be passed through any manufacturer/wholesaler price decreases. The award was made to Correct Equipment Inc, whose quoted price for four quarterly shipments (252 sets total) was $18,617.81 (including 9 % sales tax). Key points include:
• Blanket‑type agreement – no guaranteed quantity; orders placed as required.
• Firm price for the contract period, with only downward adjustments permitted.
• Late‑delivery penalties: City may source elsewhere and vendor must cover cost differences.
• Termination at City’s discretion; vendor liable only for delivered, accepted items.
• Scope limited to free‑chlorine reagent sets (latest design/production).
