The City of Spokane is issuing a five‑year “value blanket” procurement for Neptune water meters, registers, and related parts. Under this arrangement the City will place individual orders on an as‑needed basis over the term, with payment only for items actually delivered and accepted. The solicitation is an Invitation to Bid (ITB) and is open to any qualified vendor, with a strong preference for minority‑business participation. No specific technical specifications are provided here; the focus is on establishing a framework contract that streamlines future ordering for the Water & Hydroelectric Services department.
• Scope: Supply of water meters, registers, and spare parts for municipal water‑service operations.
• Term: 5‑year blanket (annual value) with orders placed as required.
• Procurement method: Open competitive ITB with a value‑blanket/IDIQ‑like structure.
• Evaluation: Standard bid evaluation; vendor must meet generic Washington‑state contracting terms (see Standard Terms & Conditions).
• Important dates: Bid submission deadline 2 June 2025; award slated for 17 July 2026.
