About this opportunity

New Smyrna Beach Utilities is conducting a Request for Quotations (RFQ 25-579) for an annual contract to procure aluminum sulfate for their Water Reclamation Facility (WRF) located at 3119 SR 44 in New Smyrna Beach, Florida. The procurement seeks a qualified vendor to supply 10,000 gallons of aluminum sulfate for fiscal year 2025-2026, with deliveries in bulk quantities of 1,000 gallons per shipment to an existing on-site 1,200-gallon storage tank. The chemical must meet specific technical specifications, including a 48.5% alum solution with precise viscosity, specific gravity, and pH parameters, and demonstrate the ability to reduce phosphorous levels below 1 mg/L in the facility's effluent. Quotations are due by September 9, 2025, at 2:30 P.M. and can be submitted via email or VendorLink. The initial contract term will run from October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2026, with an option to renew for three additional one-year periods upon mutual agreement. Vendors must provide unit prices that remain firm for the initial one-year period, with potential price adjustments considered for renewal periods. The supplier will be responsible for unloading the chemical using a two-inch PVC male Cam Lock quick coupling connection and must clearly label each shipment with contents, net weight, manufacturer name, and brand name.

The solicitation does not explicitly mention set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. The current procurement documents indicate Thatcher Chemical of Florida as a potential incumbent vendor, with a previous purchase order for aluminum sulfate valued at $22,000.00 and a unit price of $2.20 per unit. The bid documentation suggests multiple chemical suppliers are eligible to participate, including vendors like Air Gas, Brenntag, C&S Chemicals, Hawkins, and others. The procurement is part of a broader chemical procurement strategy for water and wastewater treatment operations, with the total water and wastewater chemical usage estimated at approximately $1,740,638. New Smyrna Beach Utilities reserves the right to purchase supplies from the best available source if the primary supplier cannot meet delivery requirements, indicating flexibility in the procurement process. The contract appears to be tax-exempt, with the government holding Certificate No. 85-8015993556C-0, and includes standard terms such as payment within 30 days of invoice receipt and compliance with Section 448.095, Florida Statutes, regarding employment eligibility and E-Verify system registration.
