The Jackson County Utility Authority (JCUA) is soliciting sealed bids for liquid chlorine to be delivered in 150 lb cylinders, with a procurement focused on water treatment supply. The bid specification requires chlorine that meets AWWA B301 standards, with 99.5% minimum purity and a maximum of 50 parts per million of water. The contract term is two years with a one-year renewal option, and bids can be submitted either via sealed envelope or electronically through www.centralbidding.com by the due date of September 24, 2025, at 10:00 A.M. Delivery requirements include FOB transportation to JCUA water treatment plants and water well sites, with deliveries permitted between 8:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, and a required delivery window of seven working days after order placement. The JCUA will award the bid based on best value, considering multiple factors including price, shipping charges, previous experience, delivery, training costs, inventory location, and safety performance.

The bid documents do not specify any specific set-aside designations or restrictions on responding organizations, suggesting the procurement is open to all qualified vendors. Bidders must provide NSF 60 approved documentation with each shipment and be prepared to replace any damaged or unfit cylinders at no additional cost. The JCUA reserves the right to reject any or all bids and to terminate the contract with 30 days' written notice if adequate service is not provided. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly stated, vendors are required to quote a single price per pound inclusive of all associated costs, including delivery and container rental. The successful bidder will need to demonstrate comprehensive capabilities in chlorine supply, delivery logistics, and compliance with rigorous water treatment standards.
