The City of Spokane issued a five‑year, on‑call contract to provide welding, hydraulic‑cylinder repair, and general machine‑shop services for its fleet and solid‑waste equipment. Up to three vendors may be awarded separate “master” contracts that operate on an as‑needed basis, with labor billed by hour (normal, after‑hours, holiday) and materials marked up over base cost. Rates are firm for the first year, with annual adjustments possible after the anniversary date. The City will pay only for services actually requested, performed, and accepted; all work carries a one‑year warranty and no minimum volume is guaranteed. The solicitation emphasizes compliance with Washington insurance requirements, anti‑kickback rules, and non‑discrimination statutes.
