About this opportunity
The Borough of Ambler, Pennsylvania, is soliciting sealed bids to furnish and deliver DelPAC 2000, or equivalent, polyaluminum chloride (PAC) coagulant for its wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) for January 1, 2027, through December 31, 2028. Bids are due online via PennBid by 2:00 PM on November 13, 2026. Bidders offering any product other than DelPAC 2000 must have a representative visit the WWTP during normal working hours, meet with staff, and bench test the proposed coagulant to staff's satisfaction before submitting a bid. Failure to bench test in the presence of WWTP staff results in rejection of that bid.
Usage is estimated at 1,000 to 3,000 pounds per day, with approximately 3,000 pounds per day from April 1 through October 31 and 1,000 pounds per day from November 1 through March 31. Minimum deliveries are 22,000 pounds, delivered within seventy-two (72) hours of Borough notification to a 6,000-gallon chemical storage tank at the plant. Pricing is a cost per pound delivered, firm for the full contract period, and includes all transportation and delivery charges. Quality assurance includes independent laboratory verification of delivered samples. Nonconforming PAC must be removed within ten (10) days at no charge, with replacement meeting specifications delivered the same day or the contractor is declared in default.
Each bid requires a certified check or bid bond equal to 10% of the bid amount. The successful bidder must provide a performance bond of 100% of the projected contract price within fifteen (15) days of the notice of intent to award, along with a certificate of insurance evidencing workers' compensation coverage and comprehensive liability and property damage coverage with minimum limits of $500,000/$1,000,000.
