Provide Polymer as needed - 1610 Reverend Richard Wilson Drive Building D Kenner, Louisiana

The City of Kenner, Louisiana is requesting sealed bids for cationic polymer supply on an as-needed basis for dewatering sewerage sludge at its Wastewater Treatment Plant, with bids due August 24, 2026 at 9:45 a.m. CST. Louisiana's local preference statute applies, favoring materials produced or manufactured in Louisiana when quality equals out-of-state competitors. A mandatory bench testing meeting is scheduled for August 11, 2026 at 9:00 a.m. CST at the treatment plant, 1 West 30th Street, Kenner, where all prospective bidders must attend to collect and test samples from the same sludge batch.

The scope covers cationic polymer delivery for the facility's 15.2 million gallon per day activated sludge treatment process. The estimated quantity is 2,500 gallons per load, ordered every three to four months, though actual requirements may vary. All work must meet or exceed local, state, and federal codes and manufacturers' guidelines. The bidder must submit OSHA safety data sheets and product specifications within ten days of bid opening, maintain adequate shelf life and freeze-thaw recovery standards, provide transfer pumps and unloading equipment at the treatment plant, and deliver within fourteen days of order placement. Technical assistance is required throughout the contract term. If polymer consumption exceeds the original trial dosage by more than twenty percent during normal operations, the supplier must provide corrective action at no additional cost.

The contract runs from November 6, 2026 through June 30, 2028, with an optional one-year extension available if both parties agree to maintain original terms and pricing. The annual contract amount does not exceed $150,000. Bids shall include unit price per gallon on a FOB delivered basis, with freight charges included. Payment is made upon completion and acceptance by the City, with invoices due within forty days of service delivery. Public bid opening occurs at 10:00 a.m. on August 24, 2026.
