CHEMICAL MANAGEMENT PROGRAM AND TREATMENT CHEMICALS

The City of Spokane is soliciting proposals under IRFP 6635-26 for a comprehensive Chemical Management Program and treatment chemicals to support the 24/7/365 operations of the Waste to Energy Facility in Spokane, Washington. The scope of work includes providing treatment chemicals to protect boilers and component cooling water systems, supplying lab reagents for water testing and control, and providing necessary equipment such as tanks and feed pump systems. The resulting contract will have an initial two-year term starting April 1, 2027, with options for three one-year renewals, not to exceed a total of five years. Award will be based on the proposal most favorable to the City, evaluated on a 200-point scale focusing on requirements rather than solely on the lowest cost. To be deemed responsive, proposers must be licensed to do business in Washington and possess at least five years of experience managing chemical programs for high-pressure boilers exceeding 900psig. This experience must align with ASME Consensus and ABMA Boiler Water Quality requirements. Mandatory requirements include attending a pre-bid meeting on November 16, 2026, and submitting a proposal by December 21, 2026, via the city's online procurement portal. The successful contractor must provide an all-inclusive, firm-fixed monthly cost and assume full responsibility for all chemical deliveries. Additionally, the firm must maintain specific insurance coverages, including general liability of 1 million dollars per occurrence and 2 million dollars aggregate, and comply with all OSHA safety specifications and federal nondiscrimination laws.
