Sewage Pumps and Accessories, Supply and Delivery

Solicitation 26-T01276 is an indefinite-quantity term contract for the supply and delivery of submersible sewage pumps and associated accessories to Hernando County, Florida, on an as-needed basis. The county has standardized its system to four approved brands: Ebara, Homa, Barnes, and Flygt. All provided pumps must be suitable for continuous-duty operation in commercial and industrial applications and must be quoted based on pump curves comparable to Ebara pumps. The selected vendor is required to maintain a fully equipped in-house repair facility for all warranty work, while non-warranty repairs require a written quotation and prior county approval. The award will be granted to the lowest responsive and responsible bidders based on group or unit item price, with a local preference given to businesses located within Hernando County in the event of a tie. Bidders must provide comprehensive insurance coverage, including general liability, automobile liability, and workers compensation, and must adhere to a strict cone of silence during the solicitation process. Deliveries are required to be F.O.B. Destination, with all packaging, transporting, and unloading costs included in the bid price. Payment is processed via ACH within forty-five days of invoice submission following a successful county inspection of the delivered goods.
