Water Fittings Stocking Agreement

The Lansing Board of Water and Light (BWL) is issuing a sealed Request for Proposal (RFP) for a “Water Fittings Stocking Agreement.” The contract will supply a comprehensive list of water‑related hardware—including couplings, elbows, tees, yokes, bushings, nipples, backflow preventers, and various ball and gate valves—under BWL’s material standards (e.g., N‑31‑3102, N‑31‑3103, N‑31‑3104). Suppliers must submit full, compliant proposals through the IonWave system by 2:00 PM ET on 19 Oct 2026. A question cut‑off is set for 11:59 PM ET on 13 Oct 2026. BWL reserves the right to accept, reject, or waive proposals at its discretion. The agreement will likely be a long‑term stocking arrangement, requiring the vendor to maintain inventory and deliver items on a “delivery in calendar days” basis as specified per line item. Payment terms are net 30 days after acceptance, with possible early‑payment discounts. No tax applies (BWL is tax‑exempt). • Scope: Provide over 100 distinct water‑fitting part numbers (e.g., 3/4" CTS couplings, 1" elbows, 2" backflow preventer assemblies, various brass valves). • Quantity: Mostly “1 EA” per part number, but the contract is for stocking—future orders will be drawn from this inventory. • Submission: Sealed proposals via IonWave only; email submissions not accepted. • Key dates: Issue 06 Oct 2026, Q&A deadline 13 Oct 2026, proposal deadline 19 Oct 2026. • Evaluation: BWL may waive irregularities and accept proposals wholly or partially. • Location: Lansing, Michigan (BWL headquarters).
