Bid 20-02 Chemicals

The City of Rochester, NH issued a competitive bid (Bid 20‑02) to purchase a suite of bulk water‑treatment chemicals. The solicitation covered a range of standard chemicals—coagulants, alkalinity agents, disinfectants, and filtration media—required for ongoing municipal water‑service operations. Pricing was provided as unit prices, with multiple vendors invited, though many did not submit bids for several items. The bid opened on 13 June 2019 and closed on 11 July 2019. No award decisions, quantities, or contract terms were disclosed in the excerpt. • Chemicals include aluminum sulfate, sodium hydroxide, orthophosphate, sodium hypochlorite, sodium hyrosulfite, sodium fluoride, dense soda ash, sodium bicarbonate, activated carbon, potassium permanganate, and hydrogen peroxide. • Five primary vendors were invited (Univar, Marubeni Chemrite Carus, Kemira, Brenntag Harcros, Borden & Remington); several submitted bids, others marked “No Bid”. • The procurement is a standard municipal bulk‑chemical purchase; the contract likely involves ongoing deliveries rather than a single‑project installation.
