This contract is a municipal‑level procurement for the annual supply of ductile zinc‑coated pipe (sizes 4‑in. through 60‑in., both slip‑joint and restrained‑joint) and associated polyethylene wrap for Central Alabama Water’s distribution network. The sole responsive bidder, American Cast Iron Pipe Company, will provide roughly 158,000 ft of pipe and the required wrap, with unit pricing ranging from $44.36/ft for 4‑in. pipe to $1,492.01/ft for 60‑in. special restrained‑joint pipe. The total estimated material cost is $4,021,420.40. Key points include:
• Single‑source award to a local Alabama pipe manufacturer.
• Unit‑price structure covering a broad range of pipe diameters and joint types.
• Annual supply framework likely supporting ongoing water‑infrastructure maintenance and expansion.
