Pre-Advertisement Notice: Polymer Blending Units, Parts, Repairs, and Ancillary Services

The City of Atlanta's Department of Watershed Management is issuing an Invitation for Bid (IFB) for the procurement of Polymer Blending Units, OEM parts, repairs, and ancillary services to support existing SNF Polydyne Floquip designed equipment installed across multiple treatment facilities. The solicitation encompasses five equipment classifications: Group I (EM-30 Mechanical units with maximum 30 GPM flow), Group II (EA-70 Automatic units with maximum 70 GPM flow), Group III (EA-110 Automatic units with maximum 110 GPM flow), Group IV (EA-200 Automatic units with maximum 200 GPM flow), and Group V (Miscellaneous/Services). The selected vendor must be an SNF Polydyne Floquip manufacturer-certified representative and authorized service provider capable of supplying 90 percent of required parts within 24 hours and the remaining 10 percent within 72 hours, while providing manufacturer-certified OEM parts or approved equivalent components, repair and rebuild services, equipment inspections, maintenance support, staff training, and full compliance documentation. Mandatory deliverables include a minimum of four hours of equipment instruction at vendor expense, submission of parts and service manuals, and a one-year warranty on all parts and services from delivery date. Bidders must submit firm pricing with payment terms offering a five percent discount for payment within 10 days or net 30 calendar days, and vendor rate quotes for technician, helper, and laborer services covering straight time, overtime, daily/hourly rates, and weekend/holiday work. The evaluation will prioritize the lowest and best firm price, though price escalation or de-escalation clauses may be considered under unusual market conditions. A Pre-Solicitation Conference will be noticed and held to provide additional information and address vendor questions. The pre-advertisement notice was posted on May 14, 2026, with a due date of June 5, 2026.

The specification document does not indicate any specific set-aside designations or restrictions limiting response to particular enterprise types, nor does it identify any incumbent vendors or current contractors. However, all bidders must identify any intended subcontractors in their proposals and ensure subcontractors complete the Illegal Immigration Reform and Enforcement Act (IIREA) Form to comply with federal immigration enforcement requirements. Vendors must submit an itemized annual report of purchases to the Chief Procurement Officer within 15 days after the agreement anniversary date, with failure to comply resulting in forfeiture of future City contracts. The City of Atlanta Code of Ordinance prohibits obligating future budget years; however, bidders may submit optional pricing for a multi-year purchase concept covering three years of service and parts. The contract requires integration with existing SNF Polydyne Floquip polymer blending infrastructure already deployed across multiple treatment facilities. No specific budget range or award value is disclosed in the available documentation.
