About this file

This is a specifications document for the Collier County Board of County Commissioners Procurement Services Division detailing chemical supply requirements for the Public Utilities Water Division and Wastewater Department across multiple treatment facilities in Florida. The solicitation encompasses twelve water treatment chemicals and five wastewater chemicals, including ammonia, carbon dioxide, chlorine, corrosion inhibitors, scale inhibitors, polymers, sodium hydroxide, sulfuric acid, muriatic acid, sludge polymer, calcium hypochlorite, sodium hypochlorite, emulsion polymer, soybean oil degreaser, and 25% sodium hydroxide solution. Annual estimated quantities range significantly by chemical, from 3,000 pounds of sludge polymer to 8,000,000 pounds of sodium hydroxide for water treatment and 808,000 pounds for wastewater treatment. Delivery schedules require a minimum of seven days' notice with shipments received between 8:00 AM and 4:00 PM Monday through Friday, within eight working days after verbal order receipt. Chemicals are distributed to multiple facilities including South County Regional Water Treatment Plant, North County Regional Water Treatment Plant, North and South County Wastewater Reclamation Facilities, and several smaller wastewater treatment plants, with a planned Northeast County Regional Water Treatment Plant coming online in 2031.

Pricing shall be submitted per unit weight or volume as specified for each chemical. Vendors must be original manufacturers for certain products and provide technical support available immediately by phone with six-hour on-site response capability for emergency situations. All chemicals must comply with relevant American Water Works Association (AWWA) standards and National Sanitation Foundation (NSF) Standard 60 certification for potable water products where applicable. Safety Data Sheets must accompany initial orders and any subsequent product changes, and vendors must provide annual training sessions meeting federal and state safety requirements at no additional cost to the County, with failure to provide such training constituting contract default. The County historically spends approximately $4,000,000 annually on chemicals, though this may not be indicative of future purchasing patterns. Each delivery location has specified maximum quantities per shipment, and vendors must demonstrate capability to handle hazardous materials safely with appropriate equipment and personnel.

• The total permeate production at maximum design feed flow and recovery for all fourteen RO and six NF trains shall be as indicated in Table A.

• Based on the “design” raw water quality analysis shown in Table B, the scale inhibitor shall prevent mineral scale formation and disperse inorganic colloids at the design operating conditions of the membrane system and up to the maximum recovery indicated by the SUPPLIER. Inhibitor performance will be evaluated based on change in final stage normalized permeability and normalized differential pressure.

• The recommended scale inhibitor chemical must be in use at an NF or RO WTP of greater than 4 MGD capacity. The SUPPLIER shall have a minimum ten (10) years of experience in the RO water treatment chemical business.
