The City of Ukiah has issued a Request for Bid (RFB) for Liquid Polymer Alkylamine, specifically seeking Clarifloc SW-238, Praestol 193K or an equivalent product for the Waste Water Treatment Plant in Mendocino County, California. The procurement seeks approximately 25,000 pounds of liquid polymer to be used as a coagulant aid in conjunction with 40% Ferric Chloride.

Suppliers must be prepared to deliver products within 5 working days of order, using 275-gallon disposable tote bins, and comply with DOT Hazardous Materials regulations and OSHA standards. Evaluation criteria will focus on the lowest overall bid, with potential consideration for local vendor preferences. The contract will cover a one-year period from the date of award, with the City reserving the right to accept or reject any bids.

Local vendors may receive a 5% preference (up to $2,500) if they meet specific criteria, including conducting business in Mendocino County with a valid local business license for at least six months. Suppliers must possess a current City of Ukiah business license and provide comprehensive insurance coverage. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the procurement involves recurring purchases of liquid polymer for waste water treatment. There are no explicit set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises mentioned in the documentation. Invoices for Water Treatment Plant deliveries will be non-taxable, and the contract will be awarded to the lowest overall bidder meeting all specified requirements. The procurement appears to be open to any qualified vendor capable of meeting the technical specifications and delivery requirements for the liquid polymer product.
