This document is a Solicitation Addendum One Questions and Answers for the State of Nebraska's State Purchasing Bureau (SPB), specifically addressing the 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. Notably, the addendum clarifies that vendors must submit bids for all listed products, and partial bids will not be considered for award.

The procurement requires vendors to provide a range of pool chemicals including sodium hypochlorite, hydrochloric acid, sodium carbonate, muriatic acid, sodium bisulfate, sodium bicarbonate, and calcium hypochlorite, with estimated annual quantities varying from 100 to 15,000 units. While specific budget details are not explicitly stated, the solicitation indicates potential preference for Nebraska-based vendors, resident disabled veterans, or businesses in designated enterprise zones. Pricing will be fixed for the first twelve months, with potential subsequent price adjustments subject to State Purchasing Bureau approval. Vendors must demonstrate capability to handle complex chemical delivery logistics, including bulk transportation to the two state parks, and comply with federal, state, and local regulations for chemical transportation and handling.
