About this file
This is Addendum No. 2 to an Invitation to Bid issued by the City of Baton Rouge and East Baton Rouge Parish Purchasing Division for cationic polymer products used in wastewater treatment and disposal operations. The solicitation (File Number 26-000905, Solicitation Number A26-0905) seeks sealed bids for cationic emulsion polyacrylamide polymers to be used at the North and South Wastewater Treatment Plants for domestic wastewater sludge conditioning. Bid Item 0001 addresses the South WWTP Screw Press with an estimated quantity of 450,000 pounds, using CLARIFOC C-6286 as the preliminarily pre-approved product. Bid Item 0002 covers the South WWTP Gravity Belt Thickener with an estimated quantity of 41,400 pounds delivered in 275-gallon totes. Bid Item 0003 addresses the North WWTP Belt Press using CLARIFOC SE-267 as the preliminarily pre-approved product. The bid opening is scheduled for October 14, 2026, at 11:00 a.m. CST. Product testing and pre-approval must be completed no later than October 2, 2026. Vendors may submit alternative products for testing; the screw press testing involves a two-step process including jar testing and field testing with 10 gallons of product provided at no charge by the vendor. The contract is annual with no guaranteed minimum quantity, and pricing must remain firm for a minimum of 60 days.
The addendum clarifies product specifications, correcting the reference for Bid Item 0001 from CLARIFLOC SE-267 to CLARIFOC C-6286 on both pages 16 and 21 of the solicitation. Vendors may bid only one product for Items 0002 through 0004, and that product must be pre-approved for bidding. New products submitted by vendors must demonstrate comparative results at minimum to the current products to qualify for pre-approval. Payment terms are net 30 days, and vendors may offer early payment discounts, though such discounts are not considered in award evaluation. The City-Parish reserves the right to award multiple polymers under certain bid items due to performance variations based on feed sludge and weather conditions. All products must be registered with the Louisiana Department of Agriculture and EPA, and vendors must provide product labels, safety data sheets, and EPA registry numbers either with their bid or within five days of request.

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 both places for the item currently used for bid
Item 0001. See revised Page 16 and 21 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 C-6286 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.
Bid Item 0002 - South WWTP Gravity Belt Thickener
The South WWTP Gravity Belt Thickeners are currently offline. Waste sludge from Final Settling Tanks #9-12 will be used for laboratory testing to pre-approve products. Each vendor can submit one product for pre-approval after testing is witnessed, observed and documented by City/Parish.
Bid Item 0003 - North WWTP Belt Press
The North WWTP Belt Presses are currently online. CLARIFOC SE-267 is currently being used with satisfactory results.
