Description
The City of Mobile issued a sealed‑bid solicitation (Bid No. 5454) for the purchase of disposable, hooded, chemical‑resistant coveralls. The bid required vendors to submit unit prices per case (25 coveralls per case) for multiple brand‑name items, with identical pricing across all sizes. The solicitation was opened on August 13, 2020, and included standard municipal procurement requirements such as a 5 % bid bond, E‑Verify certification, and possible Alabama Certificate of Authority for out‑of‑state vendors. An addendum dated August 6, 2020 added three additional coverall items (Cordova CPH Defender and two Kimberly‑Clark Kleenguard models) and replaced the generic “2‑week delivery” clause with item‑specific delivery‑time fields, emphasizing that delivery speed will be evaluated – a 6‑month lead‑time is expressly unacceptable. No vendor award information or contract value is provided.
• Covers chemical‑resistant, hooded disposable coveralls (multiple brands).
• Requires sealed‑envelope paper submission; no electronic bids.
• Delivery timing is a key evaluation factor; short lead‑times are preferred.
• Bid bond of 5 % of total bid amount required.
• Vendor must be E‑Verify compliant and may need Alabama business authority.
