Muskegon County Board of Public Works is seeking a procurement for calcium nitrate solution for its Wastewater Treatment Plant, specifically requesting approximately 10,000 gallons to be delivered over a one-year contract with potential renewal options for three additional one-year terms. The technical specifications require an aqueous solution containing a minimum of 3.5 pounds of nitrate-oxygen per gallon, with a specific gravity of 1.43, concentration greater than 28% nitrate-oxygen, and specific physical properties including stability between -4 and 120 degrees Fahrenheit and a pH between 4.0 and 9.0. Deliveries will be made in 2,500-gallon tank truck quantities to the Muskegon County Pump Station W in Whitehall, Michigan. Bidders must provide a Certificate of Analysis with each delivery, a Material Safety Data Sheet, and a spill response plan. The procurement is scheduled for bid opening on Wednesday, October 22, 2025 at 2:00 PM via Zoom, with a deadline for questions on Thursday, October 9, 2025. Evaluation criteria will include the bidder's ability to perform, conformance to specifications, previous contract performance, financial capability, item pricing, and references. The solicitation does not explicitly indicate any set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Bidders will be required to complete a W-9 form for tax identification purposes, suggesting the procurement is open to standard business entities. The primary objective of the calcium nitrate solution is to prevent hydrogen sulfide formation in wastewater collection and treatment systems, indicating a critical infrastructure maintenance need. While specific budget ranges are not detailed, vendors will be required to submit a total price per gallon as part of their bid. The contract appears to be structured for competitive bidding, with potential for multi-year renewal based on performance and mutual agreement by the Muskegon County Board of Public Works. No information is provided about incumbent vendors or existing technological infrastructure that might require integration with the proposed solution.
