Purchase Order for Steel Pipe (B)
explanation
On May 23, 2005, the City Commission approved the purchase and installation of a natural gas metering and regulating station at the Deerhaven Generating Plant. This new installation is needed to expand the availability of natural gas service and to increase the operational flexibility and reliability of the natural gas distribution system. The Grade B Fusion Bond Coated Steel Pipe is necessary to connect the metering and regulating station to the main gas line off of Highway 441. This pipe is a non-standard material and is not stocked in GRU's warehouses.
Purchasing solicited requests for written quotations from three prospective bidders. All three bidders responded with McJunkin Corporation providing the lowest bid. A Bid Tabulation is attached for your information.
