Corrosion Inhibitor

The City of Methuen, Massachusetts, is issuing an Invitation for Bids (IFB) for the procurement of Corrosion Inhibitor to be used at the Water Treatment Plant. The required product is a CP767L zinc polyphosphate liquid containing 15-18% phosphate as PO4 and 2.5% zinc as Zn, and must be NSF approved. Sealed bids must be received by the City Clerk no later than February 19, 2020, at 11:00 AM local time, and must be accompanied by a certified or cashier's check or bid bond in the amount of 5% of the bid price, but not less than $2,500, payable to the City of Methuen. The City reserves the right to reject any and all bids or to waive any informality in the bidding process. No bid may be withdrawn within 30 days, excluding Saturdays, Sundays, and legal holidays, after the bid opening.

The IFB does not specify any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. The bid package can be obtained from the City's Purchasing Department, but the IFB does not list any incumbent vendors or current contractors, nor does it provide any information about existing infrastructure or technology that requires integration. The IFB also does not include any listed award values or budget ranges.
