About this opportunity
The state and local contract opportunity is a comprehensive chemical bid issued by multiple municipalities in York and Adams Counties, Pennsylvania, including the Borough of Hanover, Township of Penn, Township of West Manheim, and others. The procurement solicits sealed bids for various chemical and municipal supplies across eight distinct categories, ranging from water treatment chemicals to road maintenance materials. Specifically, the bid covers items such as liquid chlorine, hydrofluosilicic acid, liquid alum, sodium permanganate, caustic soda, sodium hypochlorite, and other specialized chemical compounds for water and wastewater treatment facilities. Bids will be electronically submitted via PennBid by February 4, 2026, at 3:00 p.m., with a mandatory pre-bid site inspection required for certain chemical contracts. Bidders must provide bid security equal to ten percent of their total bid price, submit unit pricing per pound or gallon, and ensure all chemicals meet federal and American Water Works Association standards with NSF/ANSI Standard 60 certification.
The contract opportunity does not explicitly mention specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Bidders must provide technical service requirements, including three professional references and 24-hour emergency technical support availability. The municipalities reserve the right to adjust contract unit prices based on verified increases in material costs, and will award individual contracts for each chemical item to the lowest responsible qualified bidder. Successful bidders must furnish a performance bond equal to 100% of the contract price within twenty days of award. Insurance requirements are stringent, mandating $5,000,000 in general liability coverage, $5,000,000 in auto/truck coverage, and $1,000,000 in workers' compensation per accident. While specific contract values are not explicitly stated, the comprehensive nature of the bid and the multiple chemical line items suggest a potentially significant annual procurement budget for these municipal entities.
