Dear Sir:
On December 7, 2023, the Board of Commissioners authorized the Director of Procurement and Materials Management to advertise for bids Contract 24-636-11, Furnishing and Delivering Hydrogen Peroxide.
In response to a public advertisement of January 17, 2024, a bid opening was held on February 6, 2024. The bid tabulation for this contract is:
ALEXANDER CHEMICAL CORPORATION $418,010.00
EVOQUA WATER TECHNOLOGIES, LLC $470,844.00
USP TECHNOLOGIES, LLC *$525,220.00
*corrected total
Alexander Chemical Corporation, the lowest responsible bidder, is proposing to perform the contract in accordance with the specifications. The estimated cost of this contract is $471,920.00, placing their bid of $418,010.00 approximately 11.4 percent below the estimate.
The Multi-Project Labor Agreement (MPLA) was not included in this contract because it is primarily a furnish and deliver contract for a chemical.
The Affirmative Action Ordinance Revised Appendix D and Appendix V are not included in this contract due to the lack of available MBE/WBE/VBEs that can provide the scope of work.
The contractor shall commence delivery beginning five days after the issuance of the purchase order and terminate twenty-four (24) months thereafter, or upon expenditure of available funds, whichever occurs sooner.
In view of the foregoing, it is recommended that the Director of Procurement and Materials Management be authorized to issue a purchase order for Contract 24-636-11, to Alexander Chemical Corporation, in an amount not to exceed $418,010.00.
The bid deposit, in the amount of $23,600.00, will be retained in lieu of a performance bond, which is satisfactory to the Law Department and approved by the Director of Procurement and Materials Management.
Funds for the 2024 expenditures, in the amount of $137,840.00, are available in Account 101-69000-623560. The estimated expenditures for 2025 is $212,180.00, and for 2026 is $67,990.00. Funds for the 2025 and 2026 expenditures are contingent on the Board of Commissioners’ approval of the District’s budget for those years.
