Furnishing Fuel Supply Services

The Harrison County Utility Authority is seeking sealed bids from qualified contractors to supply liquefied chlorine and sulfur dioxide gases in various cylinder sizes, with the contract set for two years and an option for a one-year extension. Bidders must deliver the chemicals on an as-needed basis within 96 hours of request to designated wastewater and water treatment facilities, adhering to strict quality standards outlined by industry standards such as AWWA B301-4 for chlorine and B512-02 for sulfur dioxide. The contract emphasizes compliance with all applicable federal, state, and local regulations, including EPA and OSHA requirements, and mandates that delivery drivers possess current CDL licenses and hazardous materials training. Bidders are required to submit safety records for the past two years, an affidavit attesting to product purity, and proof of necessary licenses, permits, and insurance coverage, which include general liability, automobile, environmental liability, and workers compensation. Pricing must be submitted on the official bid form, with all costs—including delivery, cylinder rental, and associated fees—covered in the unit prices. Estimated annual quantities are provided for bidding purposes but are not guaranteed, and the Authority reserves the right to procure from other sources if contractors fail to deliver on time or meet specifications, with any additional costs charged back to the contractor. The procurement process is primarily price-driven, with evaluation based on lowest responsive and responsible bid that meets all technical and safety requirements, as the Authority retains broad discretion to reject any bids or waive technicalities. Bids must be submitted electronically via the Central Bidding Website by September 10, 2025, at 10:00 a.m., and the Authority emphasizes the importance of compliance with all submission procedures, with no specific page or word limits specified for proposals.
