IWQ 132105 Manhole Parts

Gwinnett County Government is soliciting bids for Manhole Parts under solicitation number PE-77023-NONST-2026-000000649, with a response deadline of June 30, 2026. The procurement is for specific items including a 60-inch diameter by 5-foot tall manhole riser and six bolt-down manhole covers, to be delivered to the DWR Central Facility at 684 Winder Highway, Lawrenceville, Georgia. The contract is governed by Gwinnett County’s internal procurement policies rather than standard FAR clauses, using Roman numeral designations for key requirements such as submission preparation, substitutions, withdrawal, bonding, licensing, and affidavits. Vendors must submit sealed paper proposals with all required attachments, including a bid bond, contractor affidavit, compliance sheets, fee schedule, addenda, and any proposed substitutions—all of which must be completed without alteration to county forms. Electronic submissions are strictly prohibited, and all documents must be physically delivered to the Gwinnett County Purchasing Division. The solicitation requires vendors to hold a valid Georgia general contractor’s license, provide notarized affidavits confirming federal work authorization compliance and non-collusion, and adhere to ethics requirements if the contract exceeds $100,000. Payment and performance bonds are mandatory, and the contract follows F.O.B. Destination terms with freight prepaid and allowed. The County retains the right to inspect and accept goods upon delivery at the destination, with non-conforming items subject to rejection and vendor-paid re-inspection. Contract awards will be made to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder consistent with LPTA principles, though trade-off factors such as quality, conformity to specifications, and delivery terms may influence decisions. Additional requirements include indemnification for patent infringement, strict adherence to Georgia’s manufacturing preference policy for contracts over $100,000, compliance with the county’s solid waste ordinance, and adherence to late payment interest at 1.5% per month if invoices are not paid within 60 days. No contract value is disclosed as pricing fields remain blank in the template, and no federal identifiers like UEI or CAGE codes are required. All communication with county personnel during the solicitation period is prohibited to ensure integrity in the award process.
