1.51 Question: “If a bidder is not located in the City of Corona, should we just indicate that the Local Bidder Preference Program Statement is not applicable and submit with bid or sign it in addition to indicating that it is not applicable?”
Response: The Local Bidder Preference form is only applicable to bidders that are “local businesses” with fixed facilities with one or more employees which may include a sole proprietor, located at an address within City limits (post office box alone is insufficient); and (ii) an appropriate City business license.

SUBJECT: Notice Inviting Bids No. 21-082CA
Addendum No. 3
Potable Water & Wastewater Treatment Chemicals
This Addendum No. 3 to the subject Notice Inviting Bids provides answers to questions received and revised bid forms. Please note the bid due date and time have not changed.
All provisions of this Addendum No. 3 are hereby incorporated by reference into the subject NIB.
Bidders shall account for all provisions pursuant to this Addendum No. 3 in submitting their bids.
Each bidder shall acknowledge receipt of this Addendum in their Bid in the spaces provided therein.
1. Questions & Answers:
1.52 Question: “Annual Renewal Pricing; Annual industrial bulk chemical costs of bleach have little to do with the CPI index. The Producer Price index actually has an index WUP0 for chlorine and alkali chemicals.
Would you consider using this for annual cost reviews for hypo? If not, then annual renewal options should be upon mutual agreement of both parties.”
Response: The CPI index will be utilized as the base from which negotiations will take place to determine a mutually agreed upon renewal price for option years.
1.53 Question: “Insurance; Contractor’s Pollution coverage is typically for building/construction/maintenance contractors, not chemical deliveries. Requiring contractors’ pollution coverage will add much higher costs to bid selling prices and is not necessary for this type service. Will transportation pollution liability coverage (sudden and accidental liability) covering transportation and offloading safely into customer storage tanks suffice? Will taking exception to Contractor’s Pollution coverage deem bids non-responsive?” Response: The City is removing the Contractor’s Pollution Liability insurance requirement from the bid. The Pollution Transportation Liability insurance remains a bid requirement.

1.59 Question: “Does California Mill Assessment need to be included in the bid price?”
Response: Bidders are to include all applicable fees and assessments in their unit cost bid price and exclude California Sales Tax.
1.60 Question: “Are renewals upon mutual agreement? Are there any price adjustment rules?”
Response: The CPI index will be utilized as the base from which negotiations will take place to determine a mutually agreed upon renewal price for option years.
