Annual Sodium Hypochlorite Supply

This contract solicits bids from experienced and qualified manufacturers or suppliers to provide and deliver sodium hypochlorite, specifically for water treatment use at Unit 5 Cooling Tower and other applicable municipal purposes within the City of Lakeland. The supply must be delivered F.O.B. plants with full freight allowed, adhering strictly to all city specifications, codes, and regulations referenced in the bid documents. While the contract estimates an annual quantity of sodium hypochlorite for bidding purposes, there is no guaranteed minimum or maximum purchase amount. The contract is initially awarded for one year, with the option to renew for four additional one-year periods subject to mutual agreement between the parties. Key contract terms include compliance with indemnification agreements that require vendors to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the City and related entities from liabilities arising from their acts or omissions. Vendors must also comply with Florida laws governing indemnification, complete a Human Trafficking Affidavit ensuring ethical labor practices, and demonstrate adherence to safety standards via evaluation and annual audit forms aligned with Process Safety Management criteria. The City’s Engineering office manages the solicitation and contracting process, with primary points of contact available for questions or clarifications. This ensures that all chemical supplies meet both operational needs and regulatory safety requirements, supporting the City's water treatment infrastructure reliably and responsibly.
