1. BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE

1.1. Purpose and Background

The City of Seattle is soliciting bids to establish multiple contracts with interested and qualified vendors to supply water treatment chemicals on an “as-needed” basis for a multi-year period. Vendors must be able to provide a continuous supply of chemicals, as required by the specifications for Seattle Public Utilities water treatment facilities.

The City requires chemical supplies for use at multiple locations, primarily Seattle Public Utilities water treatment facilities. The successful bidder(s) will be responsible for supply, transport and delivery of the chemicals to the facilities in a safe and secure manner as defined in the specifications.

Facility locations and the estimated annual quantities for each chemical are identified in the specifications.

The City anticipates spending approximately $1,000,000 to $5,000,000 annually for the chemicals being purchased through this solicitation. These estimated quantities are for planning purposes and do not guarantee a purchase volume.

The City currently has contract #3667 with JCI Jones Chemicals to supply sodium hypochlorite and #4357 with

Dubois Chemicals to supply hydrofluorosilicic acid, but these contracts are due to be rebid. The City has bundled these along with other water treatment chemicals into this one solicitation for new contracts.

1.2. Pool Contracts

The City intends to award a pool of eligible, qualified and competitive contracts for these products and/or services. The City may place orders with any of the resultant contract vendors, selecting the vendor the City wishes to use in any manner that the City department placing the order chooses.

Purchase Order may be modified if the bid reserved the right for additional orders to be placed within a specified period of time, or if the project or body of work associated with a Purchase Order is still active. Such modifications must be mutually agreed. The only person authorized to make such agreements for the City is the

Buyer from the City Purchasing Division (Department of Finance and Administrative Services). No other City employee is authorized to make such written notices. Expansions must be issued in writing from the City Buyer in a formal notice. The Buyer will ensure the expansion meets the following criteria collectively: (a) it could not be separately bid, (b) the change is for a reasonable purpose, (c) the change was not reasonably known to either the City or Vendor at time of bid or else was mentioned as a possibility in the bid (such as a change in environmental regulation or other law); (d) the change is not significant enough to be reasonably regarded as an independent body of work; (e) the change could not have attracted a different field of competition; and (f) the change does not vary the essential identity or main purpose of the contract. The Buyer shall make this determination, and may make exceptions for immaterial changes, emergency or sole source conditions, or for other situations as required in the opinion of the Buyer.

Some changes are not an expansion of scope, including an increase in quantities, exercising bid options and alternates, or ordering work identified within the solicitation. If such changes are approved, changes are done as a written order issued by City Purchasing to the Vendor.

6.4. Trial Period And Right To Award To Next Low Bidder

A ninety (90) day trial period applies to contracts awarded by this solicitation. During the trial period, vendors must successfully perform. Failure to perform may cause immediate cancellation of the contract. If a dispute occurs or a discrepancy arises as to acceptability of product or service, the City’s decision prevails. The City will pay only for authorized orders received up to termination. If the contract is terminated within the trial period, the City may award the contract to the next low responsive Bidder by mutual agreement with that Bidder. Any new award will be for remaining contract work and is also subject to a trial period.

6.5. Background Checks and Immigrant Status
