Quicklime (Rebid)

El Paso Water Utilities Public Service Board (EPWater) is requesting proposals for quicklime supply to two water reclamation facilities, with proposals due August 19, 2026 at 1:30 p.m. MST and a pre-proposal meeting on August 4, 2026 at 10:00 a.m. MST.

The scope is annual quicklime deliveries totaling approximately 5,000 tons for solids processing at the John T. Hickerson Water Reclamation Facility and the Fred Hervey Water Reclamation Plant. The product must comply with ANSI/NSF Standard 60 and ANSI/AWWA Specification B202, with a minimum of 99% passing on a 1/4-inch sieve and a minimum of 90% available calcium oxide. All deliveries require certificates of analysis, Safety Data Sheets, and samples in tamper-proof sealed containers. Pricing shall be F.O.B. El Paso, Texas, inclusive of delivery costs.

The initial contract term is one year from award with options to extend for up to four additional one-year periods under the same terms and conditions. Price escalation is permitted after six months with 30-day advance written notice, with aggregate increases not exceeding 25% of the original contract unit price; price de-escalation must be passed through to EPWater within two working days of receipt.

Evaluation criteria allocate 40 points for experience, 35 points for cost, and 25 points for responsibility and reliability. Offerors must provide evidence of experience supplying similar quantities to at least three comparable utilities within the past five years. Proposal security of 5% is required. Public Service Board approval and award are anticipated on September 9, 2026. EPWater reserves the right to award to one or multiple offerors and to cancel the RFP at its sole discretion.
