121406 OR SOLICITATION ADDENDUM(1) Q&Aocx.docx

This document is a Solicitation Addendum One containing Questions and Answers for the State of Nebraska's State Purchasing Bureau (SPB) Invitation to Bid (ITB) for Pool Chemicals for Eugene T. Mahoney and Platte River State Parks. The solicitation seeks a vendor to supply comprehensive pool maintenance chemicals, with bids due on May 16, 2025, at 2:00 PM Central Standard Time. The contract will have an initial one-year term with options to renew for four additional one-year periods. A critical clarification in this addendum is that vendors are required to bid on ALL products listed in the ITB, and partial bids, including those limited to only Calcium Hypochlorite, will not be considered for award.

The procurement covers multiple chemical products including sodium hypochlorite, hydrochloric acid, sodium carbonate, muriatic acid, sodium bisulfate, sodium bicarbonate, and calcium hypochlorite, with estimated annual quantities ranging from 100 to 15,000 units. Evaluation criteria will consider price, quality, delivery time, and vendor qualifications, with potential preference given to Nebraska vendors. The solicitation requires vendors to comply with federal, state, and local regulations for chemical transportation and handling, and provide necessary documentation such as Material Safety Data Sheets. Bulk delivery to the two state parks is mandatory, with specific delivery instructions and hazardous materials handling protocols. Pricing will be fixed for the first twelve months, with potential future price adjustments subject to State Purchasing Bureau approval.
