The City of Phoenix, through its Water Services Department, is soliciting sealed bids for the supply of copper piping under solicitation number IFB-26-0311, with offers due by July 22, 2026. This is an all-or-none requirement for four specified copper pipe line items: 3/4-inch, 1-inch, 1.5-inch, and 2-inch Type K soft copper piping, with total quantities of 150,000 feet, 20,000 feet, 14,000 feet, and 22,800 feet respectively. All materials must be new, manufactured, and compliant with ASTM B88 Type K standards, accompanied by operating and parts manuals in both paper and electronic formats. The Contractor must be a local stocking distributor capable of walk-in, over-the-counter delivery and must provide a Certificate of Analysis with every shipment. The contract term is five years, commencing on the date approved by the Phoenix City Council or the effective date, whichever is later, with no extension options.

The Contractor is required to comply with Buy America provisions under 49 U.S.C. § 5323(j)(2)(C) and 49 C.F.R. Part 661.11, and must submit a certification of recycled products and Buy America compliance. All goods must be delivered FOB destination, with no additional charges for fuel, freight, handling, or other fees permitted. Pricing must be submitted for all four line items, and failure to do so renders the offer nonresponsive.

The Contractor must maintain an up-to-date Safety Data Sheet (SDS) notebook, provide SDS documentation for all products before use, and ensure all containers, including secondary ones, are labeled per OSHA and NFPA standards.
