Bid No. 267026 Hydrogen Peroxide

The City of Salem, Oregon Contracts & Procurement Division, on behalf of the Department of Public Works Operations, is soliciting competitive bids for the procurement of approximately 11,000 gallons of Hydrogen Peroxide 35% for use in the ozone treatment process at the Geren Island Treatment Facility. The hydrogen peroxide must be 35 percent by weight, certified as suitable for drinking water treatment in accordance with NSF/ANSI 60 certification standards, and accompanied by certified analysis from the manufacturer with each shipment. Bidders must submit bids electronically through Equity Hub's Bid Locker by May 6, 2026, at 11:00 a.m. local time, with public opening conducted virtually via Microsoft Teams. Bids must be submitted on City-furnished forms and must include safety data sheets, product data sheets demonstrating conformance to specifications, and NSF/ANSI 60 certification documentation. Delivery is required to the Geren Island Treatment Facility in Stayton, Oregon, typically within ten business days of order placement on an F.O.B. delivered basis with prices remaining firm for thirty calendar days after closing and throughout the initial contract term except for price decreases. Questions and requests for specification changes must be submitted by April 29, 2026, at 5:00 p.m. local time, and approved equal product substitutions require submission and approval prior to bid closing. The contract will be awarded to the lowest responsive bidder within thirty calendar days after the closing date, with a contract term beginning July 1, 2026, continuing until June 30, 2027, with optional renewal for four additional one-year periods subject to City approval, satisfactory performance, and budget availability.

The bid documents do not indicate any set-aside designations or restrictions limiting competition to specific enterprise categories such as disadvantaged, minority-owned, women-owned, or small businesses. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are identified in the procurement documents. The arrangement is established as non-exclusive, allowing other public agencies to use the resulting contract unless the bidder expressly restricts pricing to the City of Salem only. Per the Goods Agreement template, the selected vendor must maintain commercial general liability insurance with a combined single limit of not less than $2,000,000 per occurrence, naming the City as an additional insured, and shall be classified as an independent contractor responsible for all transportation, handling, and delivery costs. The City retains the right to inspect, test, and reject non-conforming goods, with the vendor responsible for correction or replacement at no additional cost. No specific budget or award value is stated in the procurement documents; however, the estimated quantity of 11,000 gallons provides a baseline for cost evaluation.
