ONE-TIME PURCHASE ORDER FOR FY2028 BALL AND PLUG VALVES

Philadelphia Gas Works (PGW) has issued Request for Quotation (RFQ) 36019 for a one-time purchase order of new ball and plug valves for fiscal year 2028. The procurement covers various lubricated plug valves ranging from 4 to 20 inches that must be API 6D compliant and meet ANSI class 150 ratings with carbon steel body and trim. Specific technical requirements include a 10 psig low pressure air test and a minimum 16 mil tar set coating for valves intended for buried service. All lubrication and vent lines must be identified with stainless steel tags. Bidders may propose alternatives if they are certified as equal or better in quality, though PGW requires technical drawings for certain valve types prior to the award. The bidding process requires submissions via the PGW online portal, including a completed pricing and lead time section, bidder certifications, a certificate of non-indebtedness, and a demographic survey. Bidders must provide evidence of current insurance naming PGW and PFMC as additional insured and adhere to the Pennsylvania Prevailing Wage Act. Deliveries must be made to designated locations using two-way entry pallets not exceeding 40 by 40 inches to avoid shipment rejection. Once awarded, vendors must comply with paperless invoicing by submitting searchable PDFs via email and accepting electronic payments through ACH, either directly or via Paymode-X.
