ITB - Purchase of Hydrated Lime

Clean Water Services, located in Washington County, Oregon, is seeking bids for a hydrated lime procurement contract through an Invitation to Bid (ITB) process. The primary objective is to purchase bulk hydrated lime for delivery to the District's Rock Creek and Durham facilities, with a contract term beginning July 1, 2022, and an option for a one-year renewal. Bids are due electronically on May 24, 2022, at 10:00 a.m. local time through the Equity Hub's Bid Locker platform, with a public bid opening to be conducted via telephone conference. Vendors must download ITB documents from the District's website and register with Bid Locker to submit proposals, with no registration cost associated. The District reserves the right to reject any bids not complying with prescribed public bidding procedures or those deemed not in the public interest. Bidders must carefully follow submission guidelines, understanding that late bids will not be considered.

The procurement appears to be open to all qualified vendors without specific set-aside designations or enterprise restrictions mentioned in the available documentation. No incumbent vendors or existing technology integration requirements are explicitly noted in the provided materials. While specific budget ranges or award values are not detailed in the advertisement, the contract is structured as a twelve-month agreement with potential for a one-year extension. The procurement is specifically for hydrated lime, suggesting vendors must have the capability to supply this industrial chemical in bulk quantities to municipal water treatment facilities. Potential bidders should carefully review the full ITB documentation to understand specific technical specifications, delivery requirements, and any supplemental qualifications necessary to be considered for the contract award.
