GENERAL DESCRIPTION The goal of the City of Tallahassee is to obtain bids for Magnesium Hydroxide slurry. The intent is to enter into an agreement (also referred to herein as “Contract” or Agreement”) for the delivery of Magnesium Hydroxide slurry to preselected locations within the City’s collection system for Hydrogen Sulfide and corrosion control. The agreed upon price shall include the delivery, offloading and all other associated cost. The city currently has nine 6,000-gallon tanks and three 1,500-gallon tanks at different location throughout the city. The contract will require the delivery of Magnesium Hydroxide slurry to the preselected and future locations at the contracts agreed upon price per gallon.DELIVERY: The delivery shall be made F.O.B. destination. Contractor shall make “normal” deliveries within three (3) calendar (i.e., not “working” days) days after receipt of order and must make “emergency” deliveries within 24 hours. An emergency delivery is defined as a delivery which is necessary in order to prevent the City from running out of Magnesium Hydroxide in less than 36 hours. The City shall endeavor to minimize the number of “emergency” deliveries. Contractor shall be responsible for any spills resulting from the failure of its or its subcontractor’s delivery equipment or from failure of attendant delivery personnel in the proper performance of their duties. Proper performance shall require attendant delivery personnel’s constant inspection and observation of unloading operations and knowledgeable response to problems or emergencies, which would most commonly be expected to occur. The City reserves the right to refuse any deliveries made with equipment that is poorly maintained and/or leaking. Failure to follow any safety programs, proper safety equipment usages or other safety system could result in rejection of the load and could result in termination of the Contractor’s supply agreement. The tanks or trailers shall be clean and free of residue that may contaminate the Contractor’s product or impede the unloading process. It is the Contractor’s responsibility to verify the cleanliness of the transporting equipment before loading. All appurtenant valves, pumps, and discharge hoses used for the delivery of chemicals shall be supplied by the Contractor and shall be clean and free from contaminating material. The City may reject a load if the equipment is not properly cleaned. The Contractor shall furnish the City an approved, leak-free connection device between the trailer and the City’s intake receptacle. The Contractor shall observe the entire filling operation at each delivery site and shall immediately report any spills caused during the filling operations. The Contractor shall take immediate and appropriate actions to clean up any spilled chemical. If the spill is not cleaned up, the City will hire a certified hazardous material handling company to clean up the spill, and the cost of such service will be charge to the Contractor and deducted from the amount due to the Contractor. If the City’s unloading equipment such as pipe and or valves alarms should fail and the spillage is not the fault of the Contractor or its subcontractor, the Contractor shall be relieved of cleanup of the spill. Because of security and safety concerns, all delivery vehicle drivers shall be U.S. citizens and have a proper commercial driver’s license with a Hazardous Material endorsement. Contractor’s drivers shall display its driver’s license and whenever challenged by City personnel during the delivery.
