Cooling Tower Chemical Treatment & Testing Services

The City of Yuma is soliciting a qualified contractor to provide comprehensive cooling tower chemical treatment, water testing, and maintenance services for five facilities: the Yuma Police Department, Yuma Civic Center, Yuma Art Center, Yuma Figueroa Plant, and the City Prosecutors Office. The primary goal of the contract is to prevent system fouling caused by scale formation, corrosion, and biological growth across chiller systems, hot water systems, and condenser loops. The scope of work includes scheduled monthly visits, the provision of all necessary non-chromate chemicals, operator training, and emergency availability. The contractor must ensure all chemicals comply with Waste Control Standards and local sanitary sewer regulations, and all transport equipment must meet Department of Transportation requirements for hazardous materials. This is a firm-fixed-price annual contract with an initial 12-month term and the possibility of four additional one-year renewals. Award will be granted to the lowest responsible and responsive bidder based on factors including conformity to specifications, past performance, and financial capability. The contractor is required to provide a one-year warranty on work performed and must name the City of Yuma as an additional insured on all insurance policies. Administrative requirements include submitting invoices to the City Finance Department for payment within 30 days and maintaining a notebook of material safety data sheets and product bulletins. Bids must be submitted electronically via the City's Bonfire Procurement Portal.
