Sodiumsilico Fluoride

The City of Saratoga Springs is soliciting bids under RFP 2026-22 for the procurement of domestic Sodiumsilico Fluoride for use at the Water Treatment Plant on Excelsior Avenue. The contract is for an estimated annual quantity of ten tons, with a primary term of one year and an option for the City to extend for an additional year. To be eligible, the product must meet AWWA standards for drinking water treatment additives, be compatible with a Volumetric Dry Feeder Helix machine, and be produced domestically. Bidders must provide specific details regarding solubility and both theoretical and commercial fluoride content. Deliveries are required to be made in 50-pound bags on pallets, with a minimum shipment size of one pallet, and must be completed within ten calendar days after receiving an order. The contract will be awarded to the responsive and responsible bidder offering the best value, with evaluations based first on technical information—including the operational plan, company background, and relevant experience—followed by the cost proposal. Pricing must be quoted per hundred weight (CWT) to avoid rejection. Submission requirements include a sealed envelope delivered to the City Clerk's office by October 27, 2026, at 2:00 p.m., containing the RFP response, a thumb drive, a Non-Collusive Bidding and Vendor Code of Conduct Certification, and a Risk and Safety Agreement with a Certificate of Insurance. Preference may be given to Minority Women Business Enterprise (MWBE) businesses, and all contractors must comply with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, the Americans with Disabilities Act, and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973.
