Dorsey Run WWTP Furnish & Delivery of Methanol - SBR Procurement

The Maryland Environmental Service (MES) is soliciting competitive sealed bids for the furnishing and delivery of methanol to the Dorsey Run Wastewater Treatment Plant located at 7938 Brockbridge Road in Jessup, Anne Arundel County, Maryland. The procurement seeks approximately 36,000 gallons of methanol annually, with estimated monthly deliveries of 3,000 gallons to support the facility's operations. All deliveries must be completed between 8:00 AM and 2:00 PM, Monday through Friday, within three days of notification, with delivery on an FOB destination basis and all delivery charges included in the bid price. Pricing shall be structured as a fixed mark-up per gallon added to the monthly Methanex Methanol Price Sheet (North America) rate, with the mark-up remaining constant throughout the one-year initial contract term while total costs fluctuate based solely on MMPS rate changes. The contract shall commence upon issuance of a written notice-to-proceed from the MES Project Manager, and award will be made to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder. Sealed bids must be submitted exclusively through the MES Procurement Portal (https://menv.bonfirehub.com/) by March 2, 2026, at 1:00 PM, with all questions regarding the solicitation due by February 23, 2026, at 1:00 PM. Successful bidders must provide Material Safety Data Sheets, execute required affidavits including Contract Affidavit and Small Business Contract Affidavit, and comply with drug and alcohol-free workplace certification, financial disclosure, and political contribution disclosure requirements.

This procurement is designated as a Small Business Reserve (SBR) solicitation, restricting eligibility to businesses certified by the Governor's Office of Small, Minority & Women Business Affairs that meet applicable statutory size standards. No bonding requirements are specified for this contract. Payment shall be made monthly for actual gallons delivered at the unit prices bid, based on invoices submitted by the contractor. Bidders must submit completed bid forms with all blanks properly filled in, and bids lacking correct completion of Bid Item 1 will be deemed non-responsive. While no incumbent vendor information is provided in the solicitation documents, bidders must certify compliance with Maryland state procurement law requirements including nondiscrimination, MBE status, bribery convictions, debarment status, conflict of interest, Iran investment activities, and boycotts of Israel. The estimated annual procurement value is based on 36,000 gallons multiplied by the bidder's fixed mark-up added to the Methanex Methanol Price Sheet rate, though this figure represents an estimate only and actual quantities may vary based on the facility's real operational needs.
