Description
This opportunity involves the procurement and delivery of three million pounds of sodium hypochlorite (available chlorine) to two water‑treatment facilities operated by the Sewerage & Water Board of New Orleans. The agency sought competitive bids, received three offers, and initially recommended the lowest‑priced vendor; however, the recommendation was rejected due to a missing signature and non‑conformance to a specification paragraph. The contract is a one‑time purchase of a chemical commodity, with no renewal or multi‑year scope indicated.
• Scope: Supply and FOB delivery of 3,000,000 lb of sodium hypochlorite to Carrollton and Algiers Water Plants.
• Bids received: DPC Enterprises ($1,333,500), Brenntag Southwest ($1,421,400), Allied Universal ($1,764,000).
• Outcome: Recommended vendor rejected; solicitation likely to be re‑issued or reopened.
