Polyaluminum Chloride

The Trinity River Authority Huntsville Regional Water Supply System is soliciting bids for a two-year annual supply of Polyaluminum Chloride (PACL) for water treatment coagulation and settling, with bids due August 13, 2026. The bid is restricted to pre-qualified and Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) approved products; only Ultrafloc7482 is currently approved, which functions as a single-source specification.

Quantities are estimates only and subject to variation throughout the contract year. Place of performance is the Huntsville Regional Water Supply System in Dallas County, Texas.

Bidders must submit a Conflict of Interest Questionnaire (Form CIQ), HUB (Historically Underutilized Business) status certification if applicable, Texas Resident Bidder Certification, and verification statements certifying the firm does not boycott energy companies, firearm entities, or Israel and is not identified on Texas Comptroller lists related to federal sanctions. The Trinity River Authority has established a tariff reimbursement policy requiring contractors to submit verifiable documentation of directly-incurred tariff costs on supplied commodities; invoices lacking supporting documentation will be paid less the tariff amount. Overhead charges related to tariffs are not compensable. The General Manager may authorize payment for verifiable tariff claims and directly-affected contractor costs for legally-required performance and payment bonds and contractually-required insurance cost increases.
