Description

The Maryland Transit Administration (MTA) seeks a qualified vendor to supply, deliver, and unload a full suite of car‑wash chemicals for its two Light Rail car‑wash facilities in Baltimore and Glen Burnie for a three‑year firm‑fixed‑price contract. The contractor must provide acid and alkaline soaps, final rinse aide, pH adjusters, and reclaim digesters in specified volumes and container sizes, manage on‑site loading/unloading, and coordinate deliveries with MTA designees. No minimum qualifications are required, but the vendor must carry substantial insurance coverage and comply with Maryland’s environmentally preferred purchasing policies. The award will go to the lowest responsive bid; the contract will commence after award and a kickoff meeting. • Supply acid soap (990 gal), alkaline soap (5,280 gal), final rinse aide (550 gal), caustic and acidic pH adjusters, and reclaim digester chemicals. • Deliver to 344 West North Ave., Baltimore, MD 21217 and 7390 Baltimore‑Annapolis Blvd., Glen Burnie, MD 21061. • Provide own loading/unloading equipment; pallet jacks may be available but not guaranteed. • Maintain uninterrupted chemical availability; quantities and delivery frequency may be adjusted by MTA operational needs. • Contract duration: 3 years, firm‑fixed‑price; award to lowest responsive bidder.

Budget estimate

$300,000 – $900,000

The solicitation does not disclose a contract value. Based on the listed volumes (approximately 7,000 gal of various chemicals) and typical market prices for industrial car‑wash chemicals (roughly $0.20‑$0.40 per gallon for bulk soaps and $0.50‑$0.80 per gallon for specialty additives), annual material costs could range from $100,000 to $300,000. Adding delivery, handling, insurance, and administrative overhead could increase the total contract value by 30‑50 %. Consequently, a reasonable estimate for the three‑year contract is between $300,000 (low) and $900,000 (high).
