Various Chemicals

The City of Meriden, Connecticut has issued an Invitation to Bid (ITB) numbered B024-56 for the procurement of various chemicals to be used by the Water Department and Water Pollution Control Facility, located in New Haven County. The solicitation is open to all vendors and seeks chemical supplies with delivery terms specified as Free On Board (FOB) Destination. The bid period opens on April 18, 2024, at 8:45 AM EDT and closes on May 16, 2024, at 11:00 AM EDT, with a vendor question and answer period running from April 18, 2024, at 9:00 AM EDT through May 9, 2024, at 4:00 PM EDT. Interested vendors must submit their bids during this timeframe and can direct any questions to Susan Martel, the procurement contact for the City of Meriden, located at 142 East Main St Room 210. While the specific chemical types and quantities are not detailed in the initial solicitation documents, the full specifications are likely contained in the referenced B024-56 Bid Package. Vendors are expected to provide pricing and payment terms as part of their bid submission.

The solicitation does not indicate any specific set-aside designations, disadvantaged enterprise requirements, or restrictions on vendor participation. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are mentioned in the documents, and there are no explicit details about existing infrastructure or technology integration requirements. The estimated total contract value is not disclosed in any of the provided documents, and no budget range is specified. Payment terms will be vendor-specified, and the City of Meriden appears to be seeking a flexible procurement approach that allows vendors to propose their own terms for chemical supply. The lack of line item specifications suggests the City is seeking a comprehensive chemical supply solution that can meet the variable needs of the Water Department and Water Pollution Control Facility. Potential bidders should carefully review the complete bid package for any additional details or specifications not apparent in the initial solicitation documents.
