316 Stainless Steel for Roughing Filter Repairs

The City of Cedar Rapids has issued a Notice of Request for Bid seeking sealed electronic submissions by September 18, 2024, at 3:00 PM CDT through its designated online procurement portal, IonWave. The project involves supplying 316 stainless steel for roughing filter repairs at the Water Pollution Control Facility, with a contract value estimated between $50,000 and $150,000. Bidders are responsible for ensuring their responses are correctly submitted via the electronic system, as the city will not accept email, fax, or hard copy responses, and delays or errors in submission are solely the supplier's responsibility. Following the bid opening, which occurs immediately after the deadline, the city will evaluate the bids promptly and distribute a bid tabulation summary to all participants. Bids may be withdrawn prior to the closing time but cannot be modified or withdrawn for sixty days afterward, ensuring a period of bid stability. The solicitation is part of a broader procurement effort by the city, with related documents and projects including construction drawings for wastewater treatment plant repairs, architectural plans for a military base re-design in California, a quotation request for signage, and an addendum for fire engine bids, illustrating the city's ongoing infrastructure and service improvement initiatives. The contract is managed by Ann Baker, whose contact details are provided for inquiries. The comprehensive process emphasizes transparency, electronic submission compliance, and timely evaluation, aligning with the city's procurement policies and project management standards.
