Palm Beach County Board of County Commissioners Purchasing Department issued a Request for Quotation (RFQ) for the purchase and delivery of chemicals and chemical pumps under a term contract. The procurement encompasses four line items: Muriatic Acid (estimated 377,600 ounces annually), 3" Calcium Hypochlorite Tabs (estimated 100 pounds annually), Stenner Pump Model #170JH1 or equal (estimated 15 units annually), and Stenner Pump Repair Kit Model #QP101K or equal (estimated 30 units annually), with items 3A and 3B required to be bid together as a single offering. All quoters must maintain Commercial General Liability Insurance of at least $500,000, Business Auto Liability Insurance of at least $500,000, and Workers' Compensation Insurance in accordance with Florida Statute Chapter 440, and must be registered as vendors in the County's Vendor Self Service system with all subcontractors similarly registered. Delivery is required within five calendar days of receiving a delivery order, with F.O.B. destination point and all shipping and freight charges included in unit pricing. The RFQ submission deadline was April 28, 2023, at 4:00 p.m., with responses accepted via fax or email. Award will be made on an item-by-item basis to the lowest responsive and responsible quoter, and the successful vendor will receive a 12-month initial contract with the option to renew for four additional 12-month periods at the County's discretion.

The County has established preference provisions under Small/Minority/Women-owned Business Enterprise (S/M/WBE) programs, and quoters with a permanent place of business in Palm Beach County or the Glades may receive a five percent preference reduction on their quotes. The County reserves the right to reject quotes that would be financially disadvantageous, including awards under $1,000 or awards of multiple small fragments. Payment is contingent upon County acceptance and satisfaction with delivered items, and all prices must include supervision, labor, materials, transportation, and all other necessary costs to fully provide the items as specified. No incumbent vendors or existing infrastructure integration requirements were identified in the solicitation documents. While specific budget ranges or award values were not disclosed in the RFQ, the estimated annual quantities provided for each line item indicate this is a recurring, operational procurement supporting the County's chemical and equipment needs.
