ITB - Purchase of Aluminum Sulfate Solution 2025

Clean Water Services is seeking to procure aluminum sulfate solution through an Invitation to Bid (ITB) for a twelve-month contract period from November 1, 2025, through October 31, 2026. The procurement is specifically for bulk quantities of aluminum sulfate solution, with bids due by 3:00:00 p.m. local time on Friday, September 26, 2025. Potential vendors must submit their bids via Equity Hub's Bid Locker platform, after registering on the system at no cost. Bids will be publicly opened and read aloud during a telephone conference at 3:00 p.m. on the submission deadline, with attendance available through a provided conference number. Vendors are required to continuously monitor the Bid Locker website for potential amendments, addenda, or supplemental information related to the solicitation. The District retains the right to reject any bid that does not comply with public bidding procedures or if deemed to be in the public interest. Potential bidders with questions about the procurement process are instructed to contact Procurement Coordinator Heidi Blasingame using the contact information provided in the solicitation documents.

The ITB documents do not specify any specific set-aside designations or restrictions on respondent organizations, nor do they indicate preferences for disadvantaged enterprises. There are no mentioned incumbent vendors or existing technology integration requirements in the provided documentation. While the specific budget range is not explicitly stated, the procurement is for a bulk quantity of aluminum sulfate solution to be supplied over a twelve-month contract period. Bidders are not required to be licensed under ORS 468A.720, which relates to asbestos abatement, suggesting a relatively open competitive environment for potential suppliers. The procurement appears to be a straightforward product acquisition without complex technical or service-related qualifications. Clean Water Services will likely evaluate bids based on pricing, ability to meet specifications, and compliance with the bidding requirements outlined in the ITB documents.
