Description

The City of Worcester is seeking a supplier to provide liquid polyaluminum chloride (PAC) for use at the Indian Lake Dosing Station water‑treatment facility. The contract calls for an estimated 10,000 gallons of PAC over a one‑year period, delivered in bulk 2,000‑5,000‑gallon truckloads, with strict compliance to ANSI/AWWA B408‑18 and NSF/ANSI 60 specifications, and detailed security and documentation requirements for each delivery. The award was given to Holland Company under a sealed‑bid, lowest‑price evaluation. • Product: Liquid Poly‑Aluminum Chloride (PAC) – water‑treatment chemical. • Quantity & Delivery: Approx. 10,000 gal total; bulk shipments of 2,000–5,000 gal, 1–3 days after order. • Technical Specs: pH 2.5‑3.0, specific gravity 1.24‑1.30, aluminum content 5.5‑5.8 %, ANSI/AWWA B408‑18, NSF/ANSI 60. • Contract Terms: One‑year base period (12/1/24‑11/30/25) with optional renewal, performance and payment bonds, insurance, and ARPA funding compliance.

Contract value

$35,000

The bid results list Holland Company at $3.33 per gallon for a total of $33,300, which implies an estimated volume of roughly 10,000 gallons (33,300 ÷ 3.33 ≈ 10,000). Brenntag’s bid was $4.26/gal totaling $42,600 for the same volume. Since the City will likely select the lowest responsible bid, the contract value will be close to the $33,300 figure. Accounting for possible additional administrative fees, bonds, and a modest contingency, a realistic ball‑park estimate is between $30,000 and $40,000. Hence a conservative midpoint estimate of about $35,000 is reasonable.
