RFQ Number: 320-090326FD
Vendor: __________________________________________
1.0 PURPOSE AND BACKGROUND
The purpose of this Request for Quotation (RFQ) is to obtain pricing from qualified vendors for the purchase of
replacement pump parts and components for the City of Rocky Mount Wastewater Treatment Plant.
The City’s Wastewater Treatment Division operates and maintains multiple pump systems that are critical to the
reliable collection, conveyance, and treatment of wastewater. Routine maintenance and timely replacement of worn or
damaged components are necessary to ensure the continued performance, efficiency, and reliability of these systems.
The parts requested under this RFQ include various impellers, wear plates, seals, bearings, gaskets, flappers, and
other associated components compatible with existing pump equipment currently in operation at the treatment facility.
These components are required to support ongoing maintenance activities and to minimize system downtime.
This informal RFQ seeks competitive pricing for the items listed in the attached specifications or pricing sheet. The
selected vendor will provide the specified parts or approved equivalents meeting the operational requirements of the
City’s Wastewater Treatment Division.
2.0 GENERAL INFORMATION
2.1 REQUEST FOR QUOTE DOCUMENT
The RFQ is comprised of the base RFQ document, any attachments, and any addenda released before the Contract
award. All attachments and addenda released for this RFQ in advance of any Contract award are incorporated herein
by reference.
2.2 NOTICE TO VENDORS REGARDING RFQ TERMS AND CONDITIONS
It shall be the Vendor’s responsibility to read the Instructions, the City's terms and conditions, all relevant exhibits and
attachments, and any other components made a part of this RFQ and comply with all requirements and specifications
herein. Vendors are also responsible for obtaining and complying with all Addenda and other changes that may be
issued in connection with this RFQ.
If Vendors have questions, issues, or exceptions regarding any term, condition, or other component within this RFQ,
those must be submitted as questions in accordance with the instructions in Section 2.5 QUOTE QUESTIONS. If the
City determines that any changes will be made as a result of the questions asked, then such decisions will be
communicated in the form of an RFQ addendum. The City may also elect to leave open the possibility for later
negotiation and amendment of specific provisions of the Contract that have been addressed during the question-and-
answer period. Other than through this process, the City rejects and will not be required to evaluate or consider any
additional or modified terms and conditions submitted with the Vendor’s quote. This applies to any language appearing
in or attached to the document as part of the Vendor’s quote that purports to vary any terms and conditions or Vendor’s
instructions herein or to render the quote non-binding or subject to further negotiation. Vendor’s quote shall constitute
a firm offer. By execution and delivery of this RFQ Response, the Vendor agrees that any additional or modified
terms and conditions, whether submitted purposely or inadvertently, shall have no force or effect and will be
disregarded. Noncompliance with, or any attempt to alter or delete, this paragraph shall constitute sufficient
grounds to reject Vendor’s quote as nonresponsive.
Contact anyone working for or with the City regarding this RFQ other than the City Contract Specialist named on the
face page of this RFQ in the manner specified by this RFQ shall constitute grounds for rejection of said Vendor’s offer,
at the City’s election.
