B. This addendum includes and addresses the following questions:
B.1. On page 54, the aluminum sulfate spec states delivery will be 1000-1500 gallons, is this for all locations requiring liquid alum? Known annual quantities are shown in the table above. Actual order amounts and locations may vary. You may state a minimum order amount on the bid.
B.2. Can we please have a copy of your Equal Employment Opportunity policy? The City of Cocoa’s EEO policy can be found on page 29 of the City’s employee handbook using the following web link: https://www.cocoafl.gov/DocumentCenter/View/12681/City-of- Cocoa-Employee-Handbook-ADApdf
B.3. Do any of the ammonium sulfate deliveries require a small truck to access the site? The City of Cocoa does not have any delivery restrictions. Contact the City of Titusville procurement division representative Christopher Laabs at Christopher.Laabs@Titusville.com for more information on the Osprey WTF location.
B.4. In section 1.6 the adjustment mechanism for the renewal terms references the use of the PPI Chemicals and Allied Products-Synthetic Ammonia, Nitric Acid and Ammonium Compounds, Not Seasonally Adjusted. Series ID: WPU0652013A. However, this mechanism will not address adjustment of Aluminum Sulfate or Ferric Sulfate, are there other PPI series that the City intends to use or another mechanism to address price changes? For the metal based materials we can use index WPU10.
