Purchase & Delivery of Water, Sewer and Irrigation Materials

Solicitation 2026-ITB-UT-067-LC is an Invitation to Bid issued by the City of Cape Coral, Florida, to establish an annual contract for the purchase and delivery of water, sewer, and irrigation materials. The objective is to secure fixed unit pricing for standard inventory items, including PVC fittings, valve boxes, restraint couplings, meter boxes, and various hardware, to support municipal utility maintenance and emergency repairs. The contract term is for one year, with the possibility of two additional one-year extensions upon mutual agreement. Materials must meet specific technical standards, such as ASTM D2000 for gaskets and AWWA C213 for center rings, and all potable water components must be lead-free. The City will award the contract to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, with the option to award by group or split the award among multiple vendors. Deliveries are to be made FOB to the City's warehouse in Cape Coral, typically within ten days of an order, during standard business hours. Payment is processed via ACH direct deposit, though vendors may opt to accept City VISA Purchasing Cards for faster payment. Bidders must submit their responses electronically through the OpenGov portal by December 14, 2026, and must provide a current Business Tax Receipt and certification of suspension and debarment. The contract also requires compliance with OSHA safety standards, the Americans with Disabilities Act, and environmental protections for threatened Burrowing Owls.
