The City of Del Rio is seeking to obtain sealed bids for the purchase of water treatment chemicals for fiscal year 2024-2025. The City's Water Production and Wastewater Treatment Departments are required by State regulation to apply the approved amounts of chlorine chemical to their processes. This ensures that both the water being produced for consumption and the wastewater being treated for disposal, is disinfected to acceptable levels. Failure to apply the appropriate amount of chemicals in these processes can lead to significant penalties from State regulatory agencies, and risk possible health related issues. The City's Water Production Department uses sodium hypochlorite 12.5% in the process of producing the City of Del Rio's drinking water. This chemical is a concentrated form of chlorine that is used to disinfect the water. The City's Wastewater Department uses Chlorine Gas in the process to treat sewage that is processed in the wastewater facilities. This chemical is also used to provide a disinfectant of the wastewater being treated. Any questions concerning bid specifics should be addressed to Luis Menchaca, Purchasing Agent via e-mail at purhasing@cityofdelrio.com no later than August 2nd,2024 at 5 PM. Bids cannot be altered or amended after submission deadline. Any interlineation, alteration, or erasure made before opening by the City must be initialed by the signer of the bid, guaranteeing authenticity. The City of Del Rio reserves the right to reject any and all sealed bids, to waive any informalities or irregularities, as it shall deem to be in the best interest of the City. The offeror shall sign and date the Bid Affidavit (Attachment 1). The person signing the bid must have the authority to bind the firm in a contract. Bids which are not signed and dated in this manner will be rejected.
