About this file

This document is a Statement of Qualifications (SOQ) template for Request for Qualifications (RFQ) 10510 issued by Denver Water, seeking suppliers of water treatment polymers in Colorado. The RFQ specifically solicits qualifications for two types of polymers: Polydiallyldimethylammonium Chloride (PolyDADMAC) for coagulant aid and Polyacrylamide for flocculant and/or sludge conditioning aid. Suppliers must submit comprehensive documentation including an executive summary, Colorado Secretary of State Certificate of Good Standing, W-9 form, professional references, detailed product information forms, technical data sheets, safety data sheets, certificates of analysis, and product samples. The document outlines specific requirements for product submission, including compliance with ANSI/AWWA standards, NSF/ANSI 60 certification, and attestations that products are PFAS-free.

The RFQ template requires suppliers to provide extensive details about their products, including their role in the supply chain, manufacturing or distribution facilities, raw material sourcing, shipping capabilities, lead times, recommended product usage, and references from other potable water utilities. Suppliers must specify the percentage of imported versus domestic raw materials, potential supply chain impacts, distribution center locations, and shipping methods. The document also requests information about product performance, including recommended solution percentages, appropriate dosage ranges, and detailed application data from other utility customers. By requiring such comprehensive information, Denver Water aims to thoroughly evaluate potential polymer suppliers for their water treatment processes.
