RFQ 2024-13 - Pool Chemicals for North Clackamas Aquatic Park

Clackamas County, specifically the North Clackamas Parks and Recreation District (NCPRD), is seeking a three-year contract for pool chemicals to support the Aquatic Park's 400,000-gallon indoor swimming pools. The Request for Quotes (RFQ 2024-13) requires vendors to supply specific pool chemicals including 12.5% sodium hypochlorite, calcium chloride, sodium bicarbonate, calcium hypochlorite, and potassium monopersulfate. Quotes are due by February 22, 2024, at 2:00 PM PST and must be submitted electronically via the Bid Locker system. The contract will be awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, with an initial term from March 1, 2024, and an option to extend for one additional year. Vendors must provide a 750-1,250 gallon chemical storage tank and delivery system for sodium hypochlorite, comply with all applicable regulations, and submit safety data sheets. Pricing adjustment requests can be submitted twice annually between April 1-10 and November 1-10, with vendors required to warrant that chemicals are satisfactory for their intended use.

The RFQ does not specify any set-aside designations or restrictions on responding organizations. Based on the Notice of Intent to Award document, four vendors submitted quotes, with Brenntag Pacific, Inc. being selected as the awarded contractor. No specific budget range or award value is explicitly stated in the provided documents. The procurement appears to be a standard chemical supply contract without special enterprise qualifications or limitations. The existing infrastructure includes the NCPRD Aquatic Park's current chemical storage and delivery systems, which the selected vendor must be compatible with and capable of integrating their chemical delivery system. The contract seems focused on ensuring a consistent and reliable supply of high-quality pool chemicals for maintaining the aquatic facility's operational requirements.
