The system will be used to prime and maintain a 4,000-foot-long, 24-inch-diameter siphon pipeline. The total bid amount for the initial purchase must not exceed 80,000 dollars, which includes all shipping, freight, and handling charges. Delivery is required by February 28, 2027, to the Lacey Construction Shop in Lacey, Washington, under FOB Destination terms.

For procurements valued at 150,000 dollars or less, priority is given to the highest-ranked responsive and responsible certified small business or veteran-owned business; otherwise, the award goes to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder.
