About this opportunity

The City of East Point, Georgia, is soliciting electronic bids for a multi-year contract to supply liquid aluminum sulfate for potable water treatment, with bids due September 7, 2021 at 3:00 p.m. EDT through the City's Ionwave Software System.

The scope is approximately 768,000 gallons or 384 tons of liquid aluminum sulfate annually, delivered in approximately 16 shipments per year in 24-ton tanker loads. The chemical, with formula Al2(SO4)3, functions as a coagulant in drinking water purification by neutralizing charges on suspended particles to promote settling and filtration. The City prefers the liquefied form over powdered alternatives.

The initial contract term covers Fiscal Years 2022 and 2024. Two optional Fiscal Year contract terms may be exercised upon mutual agreement of all parties.

All bids must be submitted electronically through Ionwave; no other submission method is accepted. After the 3:00 p.m. EDT deadline on September 7, 2021, the system will not accept further uploads.

Opportunity text

East Point, GA, is soliciting electronic bids from Chemical Providers and Purveyors who are interested in entering into a multi-year procurement contract to provide the City with Liquid Aluminum Sulfate for use in the treatment of potable water for human consumption. The Aluminum Sulfate the City has been using is a chemical compound with the formula of Al2(SO4)3. In its powdered form this chemical is soluble in water. The City has been using, and prefers to use, a liquefied form of the chemical. Aluminum Sulfate is used in the purification of drinking water mainly as an agent which promotes particle collision by neutralizing charges. This causes suspended impurities to coagulate into larger particles and then settle to the bottom of the holding container where they can be filtered out more easily. It is currently anticipated that the City shall procure approximately 768,000 or 384 tons of Liquid Aluminum Sulfate annually. The City anticipates 1 shipment of this chemical every 20 days, or approximately 16 shipments per year consisting of a 24 ton tanker load or 48,000 pounds. The initial term of this multi-year Contract shall be for all of Fiscal Year 2022 and all of Fiscal Year 2024. In addition to the initial Contract Term, there shall also be 2 optional Fiscal Year Contract Terms that may be exercised upon the agreement of all concerned parties. ONLY Electronic ebid responses submitted through the City's Ionwave Software System shall be received on behalf of the City. Responses must be submitted electronically on or before 3:00 P.M. Eastern Daylight Savings Time on Tuesday, September 7, 2021. After that time / date the City's Ionwave Software System will not accept any further bids and your company will not be able to upload its response.
