Pump Station Replacement Parts

The City of Rocky Mount Wastewater Treatment Division is soliciting quotations under RFQ 320-220926FD for the supply of new, unused replacement pump parts to maintain existing equipment at the Wastewater Treatment Plant. The required components include impellers, wear plates, seals, bearings, gaskets, and flappers. All parts must be OEM Gorman-Rupp components or approved equals that meet or exceed manufacturer specifications for fit, material, durability, and operational performance. Vendors proposing equivalent products must provide detailed documentation to prove compatibility. The City intends to award the contract to a single responsible and responsive vendor capable of supplying all listed parts, with the primary evaluation factor being the lowest price, though quality, performance, and delivery time are also considered. A local preference policy allows eligible local vendors to match the lowest non-local bid if their price is within five percent or $25,000, whichever is less. Quotes must be signed and physically delivered to the City of Rocky Mount by October 9, 2026, at 4:00 PM ET. Vendors are required to provide a firm delivery commitment in calendar days, as extended lead times or uncertain schedules may result in a non-responsive determination. All shipments must be properly packaged and delivered to the Wastewater Treatment Plant at 3031 Treatment Plant Road, Rocky Mount, NC. Payment terms are Net 30 upon receipt of a monthly invoice and acceptance of goods. Vendors must certify compliance with various legal standards, including anti-collusion laws, E-Verify requirements for employers with more than 25 North Carolina employees, and prohibitions against offering gifts to city employees. Communication with city personnel regarding the quote is strictly prohibited from the opening date until the contract award.
