The City of Yakima awarded a contract for the procurement of a variety of manhole‑related hardware—including covers, lids, rings, and catch‑basin grates—required for its wastewater and storm‑water infrastructure. The award went to H. D. Fowler, who provided a unit‑priced bid totaling approximately $5.7 K (including tax). The contract has a base term of one year with the option for two additional one‑year extensions, and requires a delivery lead time of 70–84 days (10–12 weeks).

Fowler as the lowest responsive and responsible bidder; competing vendor Core and Main was not awarded. • Base contract value is $5,664.37 (including tax); optional extensions could increase total spend. • Procurement was conducted via full and open competition with bid opening on September 7 2023.
