Sale of Granular Fertilizer on a Multi-Year Contract

Gwinnett County is seeking a vendor to supply, transport, and certify granular fertilizer (5‑28‑0 N‑P‑K) on a multi‑year basis for its Department of Water Resources. The county will bag the material, but the vendor must provide the bags, labor, equipment, and transportation to move the fertilizer from the county facility, weigh and certify each load, and receive payment via ACH within 30 days of each pick‑up. The contract runs initially through Dec 31 2026 and may automatically renew each calendar year for a total of five years, with termination rights on both sides. • Quantity: 250 tons per year (≈1250 tons total over five years). • Vendor responsibilities: supply bags, provide transport/labor/equipment, weigh and certify loads, submit payment before weighing, maintain required insurance, and furnish a tax‑exemption certificate or pay 6 % sales tax. • Evaluation: highest total price wins (highest responsive and responsible bid); no bid bond required; strict compliance with insurance, non‑collusion, ethics, ADA, and immigration verification requirements.
