Description
The City of Alexandria is seeking vendors to provide a comprehensive range of janitorial chemicals for a twelve‑month period. The scope includes dozens of specific items—bleach, hand sanitizer, glass cleaners, floor‑care systems, disinfectants, soaps, detergents, absorbents, and related accessories—many of which must be supplied in designated brands (“or equal” where permitted). All products must be new, current‑manufacture, freight‑prepaid to the city’s central warehouse, and packaged to strict pallet dimensions. The contract is a firm‑price, 12‑month supply agreement with net‑30 payment terms, and the city offers a modest 10 % preference for Louisiana‑made products. Vendors must respond by May 5, 2026, and may not withdraw bids for 30 days after opening.
• Provide full‑line janitorial‑chemical items (e.g., chlorine bleach, hand sanitizer, glass cleaners, floor‑care chemicals, disinfectants).
• Meet exact brand requirements or obtain pre‑approval for “or equal” substitutes, with possible sample submission before award.
• Deliver to City’s central warehouse (FOB destination, freight prepaid) and comply with pallet‑size and packaging rules.
• Offer up to a 10 % Louisiana‑manufacturing preference and comply with the city’s AFEAT diversity program.
• Submit bids electronically via Central Bidding or hand‑delivered to the City Clerk by the May 5 deadline.
