27-026 Polymer Flocculants

The City of Albany, Georgia, is requesting competitive sealed bids for polymer flocculants to supply its Wastewater Treatment Plant under a one-year firm-price contract with two optional one-year renewal terms, with bids due October 28, 2026.

The scope is supply and delivery of polymer flocculants — chemical treatment agents for solids separation and clarification in wastewater treatment. The City has installed three 3,000-gallon bulk tanks (9,000 gallons total capacity) and anticipates annual consumption of 150,000 pounds. Typical orders include approximately 10 totes and bulk shipments of approximately 45,000 pounds, with no minimum order requirements. The preferred lead time between order and delivery is two weeks. Pricing is firm and unit-based; payment is made on actual pounds ordered and received rather than lump sum or periodic estimates. The anticipated annual quantity of 150,000 pounds serves as an evaluation metric.

Place of performance is the Wastewater Treatment Plant in Albany. The contract is funded through the City's wastewater treatment operational budget and includes standard terms addressing product specifications, delivery schedules, payment terms, and remedies for non-performance.
