Water and Wastewater Chemicals

The County Commissioners of Charles County are requesting sealed quotes from qualified contractors to provide water and wastewater treatment chemicals on an as-needed basis to several facilities throughout Charles County, Maryland. Chemicals to be provided include Ferric Chloride, Liquid Aluminum Sulfate, Liquid Calcium Chloride, Liquid Sodium Hypochlorite (bulk and 55-gallon drum), and Liquid Sodium Bisulfite. Each chemical item will be awarded separately to the lowest responsive, responsible quoter.

The County operates multiple water and wastewater treatment facilities serving thousands of residents across Charles County. The chemicals procured under this contract are essential to the safe and effective treatment of drinking water and wastewater effluent, ensuring compliance with all applicable federal and state environmental and public health regulations. Contractors must demonstrate the capability to deliver quality chemicals reliably and safely to designated facility locations within the timeframes specified herein.

Charles County Government's Department of Public Works operates water and wastewater treatment facilities throughout the County, including the Mattawoman Wastewater Treatment Plant, Swan Point Wastewater Treatment Plant, and several smaller facilities in Bel Alton, Cliffton, and Mt. Carmel. These facilities rely on a consistent supply of high-quality treatment chemicals to maintain operations and meet regulatory discharge standards. This solicitation replaces the previously awarded RFQ 23-30 and reflects the County's continued commitment to securing reliable chemical supply contracts that protect public health and the environment.
