The Northeast Ohio Regional Sewer District is soliciting bids for a one-year requirements contract for the supply and delivery of sodium hypochlorite solution to its Easterly, Southerly, and Westerly Wastewater Treatment Plants. The primary objective of this procurement is to ensure compliance with NPDES permit requirements for E. coli reduction. The contract covers an estimated volume of up to 8,200,000 wet pounds of solution with a minimum concentration of 12.5%, with an estimated total cost of 1,230,000 dollars. Bids must be submitted electronically via the OpenGov portal by October 14, 2026. Award decisions will be based on the lowest and best bidder, with considerations for ethics, general performance factors, and compliance with the District's Small Business Enterprise Program. Successful bidders must adhere to strict delivery specifications, including the use of clean, rubber-lined tanker trucks with a minimum 4,000-gallon capacity and an onboard air compressor. Deliveries are generally accepted Monday through Friday from 8:00 A.M. to 2:30 P.M., though after-hours or holiday deliveries may be required at no extra charge. All shipments must be completed within five days of notification and accompanied by a written certified analysis of the solution's concentration. Contractors must comply with comprehensive safety and security protocols, including OSHA standards for personal protective equipment, confined space entry, and lockout/tagout procedures. Security requirements include mandatory identification badges for all employees, company branding on all vehicles, and prior authorization for all site visits. Quality assurance is managed through grab sampling by NEORSD representatives, with loads subject to rejection if they contain impurities or fall below a 10.5% concentration by weight. Payment terms are net 30 days.
