Steampipe replacement

The contract involves the replacement of a steam pipe in the basement Mechanical Equipment Room of the Manor House at Bayard Cutting Arboretum State Park, located in Suffolk County, New York. The project scope includes removing deteriorated sections of live steam piping and fittings, installing new Schedule 40 black pipe with appropriate fittings and supports, conducting pressure tests to ensure leak-free operation, and restoring the work area to broom-clean condition. The procurement process is conducted via a Request for Quotation (RFQ) issued in November 2025, with a submission deadline of December 9, 2025, and a pre-quote site visit scheduled for November 18, 2025. Vendors are instructed to submit quotes exclusively on the designated RFQ form via email to a specified contact, with all responses evaluated based on the lowest total cost that meets the detailed scope and requirements. The solicitation emphasizes compliance with prevailing wage laws, contractor registration, and adherence to New York State procurement policies. It includes detailed instructions on submission procedures, site visit protocols, and vendor questions, which are accepted up to a specified date. The contract is not set aside for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Businesses, and there are no specific MWBE or socioeconomic sub-contracting goals. The RFQ contains standard contractual provisions covering general terms such as applicable law, insurance, termination, and indemnification, but does not specify particular FAR clauses or unique contractual requirements. Pricing is to be submitted per line item, though no specific unit prices or total contract value are provided in the solicitation, as it functions as a template for vendor responses. The project aims to ensure the safe, compliant, and efficient replacement of the steam piping system, with the award going to the responsible bidder offering the lowest acceptable bid that fulfills all technical and legal requirements.
