Description

This contract represents the City of Fort Smith’s FY 2019‑2020 procurement of a comprehensive suite of water‑treatment and wastewater‑treatment chemicals. The municipality negotiated unit prices for over two dozen chemicals and selected multiple vendors, each awarded specific product lines. The bid tabulation lists unit costs in pounds or tons, price adjustments, and indicates which suppliers received the award. Key points: • Scope covers chemicals such as sodium hydroxide, bisulfite, hypochlorite, fluorosilicic acid, various polymers, lime, activated carbon, and more. • Five vendors were awarded distinct product categories (Carus Corp., Water Tech, Gulbrandsen, Brenntag SW, Southern Ionics). • Prices were approved by municipal Board resolution (20 Aug 2019) and Ordinance 75‑19, but total contract value and delivery schedule are not disclosed in the excerpt.

Contract value

$2,000,000

The document provides per‑unit prices for each chemical but does not disclose quantities. Typical municipal water utilities consume tens to hundreds of tons of chemicals annually. Assuming an average of 50 tons per chemical across 15 major chemicals (a conservative estimate) and using the listed unit prices (ranging from $0.5/lb to $475/ton), the aggregate spend would fall roughly between $1 million and $3 million. A midpoint estimate of about $2 million is reasonable, acknowledging that actual volumes could be higher for high‑use items (e.g., sodium hydroxide, lime) and lower for specialty chemicals.
