Water Treatment Chemcials

The City of Dublin, Georgia is issuing an Invitation to Bid for water treatment chemicals covering a six-month contract period from January 1, 2026 through June 30, 2026. The procurement includes four line items: liquid chlorine in one-ton containers (anticipated 21 units), liquid chlorine in 150-pound cylinders (anticipated 60 units), hydrofluorosilicic acid (HFS) delivered in portable totes (4 units anticipated), and potassium permanganate in 55-pound pails (108 units anticipated). All chemicals must meet NSF 60 Standard certification and AWWA approval requirements, with delivery required within five days of notice and no minimum order quantities imposed. Bidders must submit sealed bids by November 11, 2025 at 2:00 PM through the City of Dublin Purchasing Office via BidNet Direct, DemandStar, or hard copy delivery. Pricing must be provided on an individual item basis with unit prices and extended totals clearly stated, and bidders are required to specify any fuel surcharges and container deposits applicable to their proposals. Site inspections are encouraged but not mandatory, and late bids will not be accepted with no extensions granted for bid opening or award dates. Evaluation criteria require bidders to submit pricing proposals with firm prices for the entire six-month period, with the City reserving the right to award to multiple bidders and terminate the contract without cause upon 30 days' written notice.

There are no identified set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises in this procurement; however, local vendors within the City of Dublin receive a three percent preference in award decisions. All successful bidders must submit a W-9 form, Non-Collusion Affidavit, Bidder's Declaration, and comply with federal work authorization requirements and SAVE compliance affidavits. Bid bonds and performance bonds are not required for this procurement. Payment terms are Net 30, and the City is exempt from federal excise tax and Georgia sales and use tax. No incumbent vendors or budget ranges are specified in the bid documentation, though the anticipated usage quantities provided (21 one-ton chlorine cylinders, 60 150-pound cylinders, 4 HFS totes, and 108 potassium permanganate pails) serve as the baseline for cost estimation.
