OCA PUC HHWP | MPH Bypass Valve

The City and County of San Francisco Office of Contract Administration, acting on behalf of the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission’s Hetch Hetchy Water and Power Division, is soliciting bids for two 48-inch axial flow control valves and two high-performance butterfly valves under Solicitation Number SFGOV-0000010605. The Invitation for Bids, issued on April 9, 2025, with an addendum issued on May 2, 2025, requires all bids to comply with the latest versions of all attached documents including the revised Bid Sheet, Purchase Order Terms, and Bidder Questionnaire. Bids must be submitted via the City’s Supplier Portal by May 2, 2025, at 11:00 a.m. PST, with email submissions only permitted as a last resort due to technical issues. The valves must be delivered to Moccasin, CA no later than November 20, 2026, or 18 months after purchase order award, whichever comes first, under F.O.B. destination terms with freight prepaid. Suppliers must meet stringent technical and compliance requirements including compliance with ASME, ASTM, AWWA, and ANSI standards, ISO 9001 certification, seismic design criteria for Site Class C with specified spectral accelerations, and adherence to detailed packaging and marking specifications such as rust preventive coating, capped flanges, stainless steel or aluminum nameplates with at least two-inch engraved markings, and secure crating of actuators. The evaluation is implied to follow a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable model, where all submitted technical documentation—such as certified performance curves, material certifications, factory test reports, seismic certifications by a California-licensed engineer, and four operational unit references—is mandatory and non-negotiable. Bidders must submit a complete manufacturing schedule, spare parts list, and manufacturer warranty if not the original producer. While no formal evaluation weights are assigned, failure to meet any requirement results in bid rejection. The solicitation includes specific municipal compliance obligations under local ordinances, including LBE certification under commodity code EQ129, campaign contribution limitations, health care accountability, first source hiring, and prohibitions on political use of public funds. No federal socioeconomic set-asides apply, and neither UEI nor CAGE codes are required. The contract is not explicitly classified as FFP, but the sealed bid format and evaluation criteria suggest a fixed-price structure. No contract value is stated as pricing fields in
