Bid-PW-chlorine solutions

The City of Minneapolis Procurement Division is requesting bids on chlorine solutions and associated plumbing materials under BID-PW-CHLORINE SOLUTIONS, with bids due August 20, 2026 at 2:00 PM CDT. Addendum 1, posted August 11, clarifies that pipe quantities are specified as individual 20-foot sticks rather than linear footage — a critical specification detail that must be acknowledged in the bid submission.

The scope comprises Schedule 80 PVC pipes (1-inch through 8-inch diameter), fittings (elbows, couplings, tees, bushings, caps), ball and check valves, PVC cement and primer, gaskets and O-rings (Viton, FKM, or FPM-compatible for chlorine solutions), galvanized steel riser clamps, fire collars, fire caulk, and all-thread fasteners. All materials must meet ASTM, AWWA, ANSI/ASME, and UL standards as referenced; materials must be new and of the best quality for their intended purpose. The bid form contains 719 line items requiring unit pricing. Delivery is required to the Water Treatment Facility at 4100 Marshall Street Northeast in Fridley, Minnesota by October 16, 2026, with an initial delivery scheduled for September 1. The facility accepts deliveries between 7:30 AM and 3:00 PM, Monday through Friday, excluding federal holidays, with advance confirmation required.

The City intends to award up to two non-exclusive purchase orders to the overall low responsive and responsible bidders. Bidders must submit all required documentation, licenses, and certifications; failure to provide required documentation results in bid rejection. Prices must remain firm and must include freight and delivery. The City reserves the right to reject any or all bids and to purchase comparable materials in the open market if the supplier fails to deliver, with the supplier responsible for reimbursing excess costs. Inquiries should be directed to Mallory Cina at mallory.cina@minneapolismn.gov. Payment is rendered within thirty days of delivery, acceptance, and final inspection.
