EV4879 Water/Wastewater Treatment Chemicals

The City of Kansas City, Missouri, through KC Water, is soliciting bids for a twelve-month term and supply contract for the furnishing and delivery of water and wastewater treatment chemicals. The scope of work includes the supply of liquid chlorine, activated carbon, sodium hypochlorite, sodium bisulfite, ammonium hydroxide, and caustic soda. The initial contract period runs from November 1, 2026, through October 31, 2027, with five optional renewal years extending through November 30, 2032. Bids are evaluated on a line-item basis, and the City may make multiple awards to responsive bidders. Pricing for the initial year must be fixed and firm, and unit prices must include all costs for transportation, unloading, and labor. Vendors must adhere to strict packaging and labeling regulations, ensuring all products are legally labeled with hazard classes and storage instructions per the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS), which must accompany every shipment. Containers of five gallons or more must include the product trade name, and products with limited shelf lives must display expiration dates. The City gives preference to goods manufactured in the United States and specifically to those produced within Missouri when quality and price are equal. Contractors are required to provide at least 24 hours of advance notice prior to delivery. Evaluation is based on the best proposal in the City's sole judgment, with a requirement for one client reference from the past five years, preferably from the government sector.
