About this file
This Addendum No. 1, issued August 8, 2026, by the City of Baton Rouge and East Baton Rouge Parish Purchasing Division, clarifies specifications for a cationic polymer solicitation (File Number 26-000905, Solicitation Number A26-0905) scheduled for bid opening on October 14, 2026, at 11:00 a.m. CST. The solicitation requests cationic emulsion polyacrylamide polymers for wastewater treatment at the North and South Wastewater Treatment Plants, with four bid items covering screw presses and gravity belt thickeners. Addendum No. 1 resolves a product naming discrepancy by confirming that CLARIFLOC C-6286 should be the standard reference for all bid items, replacing the previously listed CLARIFLOC SE-267. The City-Parish will pre-approve products through a two-step testing process involving jar testing and field testing, with all products approved for bidding no later than October 2, 2026. Site visits for product evaluation and testing must be scheduled by September 1, 2026, with Justin Sharper. The contract is annual with no guaranteed minimum quantities, though initial orders are estimated at approximately 25,000 gallons for the North WWTP Belt Press and 2,300 pounds for the North WWTP Gravity Belt Thickener, with potential for bulk delivery adjustments.
Vendors may bid multiple products only if pre-approved through the City-Parish testing protocol, and only one product per vendor may be submitted for Items 0002 through 0004. All products must be registered with the Louisiana Department of Agriculture and EPA, with vendors required to provide product labels, safety data sheets, and EPA registry numbers. Pricing must remain firm for a minimum of 60 days, with payment terms of net 30 days. The City-Parish reserves the right to award items separately, in groups, or on an all-or-none basis, and to reject any or all bids. Vendors must register in the City-Parish Vendor Self-Service system and submit a completed W-9 Form. The contract includes federal compliance obligations under the Davis-Bacon Act, Equal Employment Opportunity requirements, and cybersecurity training mandates, with termination possible for cause or convenience upon 30 days written notice.

Question & Answer
Q1: I wanted to reach out for clarification on the product listed for Bid Item 0001. Page
16 identifies CLARIFLOC SE-267 as the current product, while the Schedule of Bid Items on page 21 lists CLARIFLOC C-6286.
Could you please confirm which product should be referenced for Bid Item 0001?
A1: Clarifoc C-6286 should be listed in all places for the item currently used for the bid item. See revised Page 16, 17, and 22 below
PRE-APPROVED PRODUCTS
Some of the “Schedule of Bid Items” preliminarily lists one product approved. Additional products which have been pre-approved for bidding will be published in an addendum to this Invitation to Bid upon conclusion of product testing. All products will have been tested and approved for bid purposes no later than October 2, 2026.
Bid Item 0001 - South WWTP Screw Press
The South WWTP Screw Presses are currently online. CLARIFOC SE-267 is currently being used with satisfactory results. This product is preliminarily pre-approved unless the vendor supplying the product wishes to test and demonstrate the performance of a superior product; and chooses to bid that product. New products must demonstrate comparative results, at minimum, to be considered for pre-approval.
Testing for the screw press will be a (2) step process.
A. Vendors will be allotted time to jar test various products in order to select up to two (2) products for field testing on the screw presses pending City/Parish approval.
B. Vendor will provide 10 gallons of product, at no charge, for field testing on the screw presses. City/Parish will keep testing across vendors as constant as possible (same screw press, same digester sludge, etc.). Owner may test on cake total solids %, solids capture %, and filtrate total solids (mg/L).
Pre-approval will be based on field testing and results of third-party analytical testing.
City/Parish may award multiple polymers under this bid item as screw press performance varies due to changes in feed sludge, weather, etc.
