Invitation to bid: bulk water treatment chemicals

The Western Virginia Water Authority is requesting sealed bids for bulk water treatment chemicals for municipal water treatment systems serving Roanoke County and Roanoke City, with bids due July 9, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. local time at the Roanoke Regional Water Pollution Control Plant. Sealed bids must be submitted in one original and one complete copy; electronic submissions through eVA will not be accepted.

The Authority intends to establish a contract for an initial six-month term with an option to renew for one additional six-month period, resulting in a maximum one-year term subject to mutual agreement. Award will be made to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder in accordance with the Virginia Public Procurement Act. If the lowest responsive and responsible bid exceeds available funds, the Authority may negotiate with that bidder to modify the scope of work to obtain a contract price within available funds.

A virtual informational meeting is scheduled for June 25, 2026 at 1:00 p.m. to review the scope of work and address prospective bidder questions. Prospective bidders must download bidding documents from www.westernvawater.org. All questions and technical inquiries must be submitted in writing to Eric Powers at eric.powers@westernvawater.org. Deviations or alternates to the specifications must be submitted in writing with the bid; any deviations discovered after award or material receipt that were not stated in the bid constitute grounds for disqualification. Bids will be publicly opened and read aloud immediately following the submission deadline. The Authority reserves the right to waive informalities and irregularities in bids and to accept or reject any or all bids as permitted by law. Late bids will not be received.
