Miscellaneous Waterworks Products - Plains Booster Station

The City of Spokane Water Department issued RFQ 6230‑24 to procure a suite of off‑the‑shelf water‑works components for the Plains Booster Station. The solicitation required vendors to submit unit‑price bids for items such as mechanical‑joint tees, sleeves, stainless‑steel megalug bolt‑and‑gasket kits, and ductile‑iron pipe. Three vendors responded, but the contract was awarded to Core & Main. The award is a unit‑price contract; each line item has a defined quantity and unit cost. The purchase will be funded under the city’s water‑services budget and must comply with both AIS (American Iron and Steel) and BABA (Build America/Buy America) requirements. • Scope: Supply of miscellaneous water‑works products (pipes, fittings, fittings kits, and related hardware) for a booster‑station upgrade. • Procurement: Full and open competition; award to a single vendor (Core & Main). • Pricing: Unit‑price format; total contract value estimated between $177 k and $190 k. • Compliance: Must meet AIS and BABA “Buy American” provisions; no custom fabrication or installation services are included.
