Contract 26-2 2026 Soda Ash, Dense Bid - REBID

The contract solicits bids for the supply and delivery of Soda Ash, Dense, specifically anhydrous sodium carbonate, to two wastewater treatment plants operated by the Warwick Township Water and Sewer Authority in Bucks County, Pennsylvania: the Fish Creek and Country Crossing facilities. The base bid requires the provision of approximately 2,470 fifty-pound paper bags per year for a one-year period, with deliveries split between the two sites—averaging 2,080 bags at Fish Creek and 390 at Country Crossing. An optional alternate bid is available for an additional two years, totaling 4,940 bags annually over the extended term, though bidders are not obligated to submit for the alternate. All deliveries must be made in fifty-pound paper bags on pallets, with a minimum of one pallet delivered per site per shipment. Vendors must supply their own vehicles equipped with a lift gate and a motorized pallet jack due to the absence of loading docks at either plant, and while they are responsible for moving pallets into designated indoor locations as directed by Authority personnel, hand-unloading is not required. Delivery vehicles must be able to maneuver without turnaround space within the plant premises. Bids must be accompanied by bid security in the form of a certified check or bond equal to at least ten percent of the base bid amount and must be submitted via the PennBid portal by the deadline of June 16, 2026. Bidders are required to have conducted a site visit, reviewed all specifications and addenda, and confirmed understanding of all requirements before submitting. Upon award, successful bidders must execute a formal agreement within ten days of receipt and provide performance and payment bonds with approved sureties. Failure to meet delivery schedules incurs liquidated damages of one hundred dollars per calendar day of delay. All work is covered under a lump-sum price structure, and no additional payments are permitted for work not explicitly specified. Bids must be submitted using the official form, completed with proper legal entity representation including signed attestations consistent with the bidder’s organizational structure, and may not be altered from the prescribed format.
