Orange Water and Sewer Authority (OWASA) is soliciting bids for water-main replacement materials for the Booker Creek Road project.
- **Government buyer:** Orange Water and Sewer Authority (OWASA), a local authority serving the Carrboro area in Orange County, North Carolina; no sub-agency or office is identified.
- **Procurement scope:** Materials-only purchase, including ductile-iron and SDR 17 pipe, gaskets, tracer wire, marking tape, tapping saddles, corporation stops, copper tubing, meter components, valves, hydrants, fittings, bends, and sleeves.
- **Key quantities:** 2,120 LF of 8-inch restrained-joint ductile-iron pipe; 120 LF of 6-inch restrained-joint ductile-iron pipe; 380 LF of 2-inch SDR 17 pipe; 3,000 LF each of tracer wire and blue water tape; 23 sets of meter components; and assorted valves, hydrants, fittings, and accessories listed below.
- **OEMs and vendors:** No manufacturers, OEMs, resellers, or suppliers are named in the solicitation. Materials must meet OWASA requirements or be an approved equivalent.
- **Notable requirements:** Materials must be new, satisfy OWASA’s January 2025 standards, and include all parts needed for complete, functioning assemblies. Bids must provide unit prices, a detailed price breakdown, delivery to OWASA, and a proposed pipe-delivery schedule for approval. Addendum 01 clarifies that the six 11.25-degree ductile-iron bends are 8-inch and calls for two 8-inch ductile-iron mechanical-joint sleeves instead of a welded steel sleeve.
- **Delivery and term:** This is a one-time materials purchase with delivery required by the solicitation deadline; no subscription, option years, or separate service period is specified.
- **Estimated value:** Approximately $100,000–$300,000; the solicitation provides no stated budget or pricing.
