Sodium Hydroxide (Caustic Soda)

The City of Waco is soliciting bids for the furnishing and delivery of liquid sodium hydroxide to support its potable-water treatment facilities, with the solicitation divided into two separately awardable groups. Group A covers 50% sodium hydroxide for primary year-round use, while Group B covers 25% sodium hydroxide for optional cold-weather or alternative operational needs. Bidders may submit proposals for one or both groups, and the City retains the right to award each group independently, meaning a contractor winning one group is not guaranteed the other, and separate contractors may be selected for each group with distinct responsibilities. The successful bidder must provide all necessary components for delivery including product, transportation, labor, transfer equipment, hoses, fittings, adapters, safety gear, documentation, and technical support, ensuring compliance with all specifications outlined in Appendix D. Bids must be submitted by August 20, 2026, at 8:30 PM Central Time, with the solicitation posted on July 30, 2026 under reference number 2026-040. All deliveries are to be performed at the City of Waco’s potable-water treatment facilities in Texas. The primary point of contact for inquiries is Melanie Wade, reachable via email at melaniew@wacotx.gov or phone at (254) 750-8098. The solicitation is open to all qualified bidders without a specific set-aside classification, and full technical requirements are detailed in the referenced appendix, ensuring consistency, safety, and operational compatibility across all deliveries.
