Arsenic Treatment System

The City of Cottonwood, Arizona, has issued a solicitation titled Arsenic Treatment System with identification number FY27-UT-01, targeting a contractor to deliver services related to the treatment of arsenic in the city’s water supply. The solicitation, posted on July 14, 2026, with a response deadline of August 15, 2026, is administered by the Utilities department and is intended for performance within the city’s corporate boundaries in Yavapai County. The contract is structured as a service agreement rather than a standard federal procurement, with no applicable Federal Acquisition Regulation clauses, meaning all terms are locally drafted and customized to municipal requirements. While the full scope of work is detailed in Exhibit A, which is incorporated by reference, the agreement specifies that the contractor must comply with all applicable federal, state, and local laws, including OSHA standards, Arizona Revised Statutes relating to workplace safety and public records, and city ordinances. Insurance requirements mandate commercial general liability, automobile liability, workers’ compensation, and professional liability coverage, though exact monetary thresholds are not disclosed. Payment is contingent upon the submission of itemized invoices to the City and is subject to fiscal year budget approvals that extend only through June 30, with performance beyond that date requiring additional Council authorization. The agreement includes comprehensive provisions for indemnification, termination under various conditions including convenience, cause, conflict of interest, and grace periods for work stoppage or gratuities, as well as mandatory certifications regarding compliance with federal immigration laws and prohibitions against participation in the Israel boycott and the use of forced labor involving ethnic Uyghurs, the latter requiring notification within five business days if noncompliance is discovered and potential termination if unresolved within 180 days. Although the contracting office is located at 821 N Main Street, Cottonwood, AZ 86326, and the primary point of contact is the Accounting Manager Jeff Cook, no Contracting Officer, Contracting Officer’s Representative, or Procuring Contracting Officer is formally designated, and no specific invoice processing address or electronic invoicing system is identified. The contract does not specify a start or end date, performance timeline, FOB terms, packaging standards, or technical specifications beyond legal compliance, and no evaluation criteria, weights, or selection methodology are outlined, indicating that it is a finalized agreement rather than a competitive solicitation with structured scoring. Pricing is left in placeholder form with references to a maximum contract value to be determined, and no
