Page 41 of 77 ends

Bid prices must be based on bulk deliveries amount as specified via the electronic bid platform https://bacwa.org/about-bacc/. Bids that do not include unit prices for bulk deliveries to each geographic region specified on the electronic bid platform will be considered irregular and, at the option of BACC and the participating BACC agencies, may be eliminated from further consideration. For bulk deliveries of less than this specified amount, the bidder may, at their option, assess additional charges for “short loads” unless specific requirements for smaller deliveries are described in paragraph 3.7 Delivery Requirements.

Any additional “short load” charges must be shown by the bidder as a specific deviation on the bid contract documents. Bidders and/or third party haulers will not be allowed to refuse to make “short load” deliveries.

Any optional item will be shown as a separate line item in the electronic bid platform https://bacwa.org/about-bacc/ and bidders may, at their option, submit unit prices for the optional item.

Bids that do not include unit prices for buckets, barrels, or totes will not be considered irregular and therefore such bids will not be rejected for that reason. If none of the participating BACC agencies require non-bulk deliveries in containers such as buckets, barrels, or totes, the electronic bid platform https://bacwa.org/about-bacc/ will not include spaces to enter bid prices for such non-bulk deliveries in containers such as buckets, barrels, or totes, however, if a participating BACC agency later decides that they need deliveries in containers, bidders may, at their option, negotiate with the BACC agency to determine a price for deliveries in containers such as buckets, barrels, or totes.

2.5 Bidder Qualifications
A qualified bidder is one determined by BACC and the participating BACC agencies to meet standards of business competence, reputation, financial ability, and product quality. A responsive bidder is a firm/person who has submitted a bid that conforms in all material respects to the terms and conditions, the specifications of the chemical, and any other requirement of the bid instructions.

EXHIBIT 2 Contract with Thatcher Company of California for Sodium Bisulfite

Page 44 of 77 ends

2.16 Method of Award
Bids may be awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder meeting the specifications for bulk loads for the chemical. The lowest responsive bidder will be determined by multiplying the estimated annual quantity for each participating BACC agency by the bid price for their region and adding up the aggregate cost to all of the participating agencies in the regions. The single bid that results in the lowest overall cost to the participating agencies as a group will be determined by BACC to be the low bid, assuming the bid is determined by BACC to be complete and in compliance with the bid requirements.

BACC has the right to delete terms or options from the bid contract documents and reserves the right to reject any and all bids and to waive irregularities in said bids. The following is a non-exhaustive list of criteria that BACC may, in its sole discretion, consider in award of the bid:
a. Unit cost of the chemical
b. Product specifications
c. Warranties or standards of quality
d. Capabilities to deliver product throughout the contract term e. Bidder’s reputation, competency, and previous customer service record f. Third party hauling company’s reputation, competency, and previous customer service record (if applicable)
g. Fully executed non-collusion affidavit

2.17 Disqualification of Duplicate or Collusive Bidders More than one bid proposal from an individual, a firm or partnership, a corporation or an association under the same or different names will not be considered. Reasonable grounds for believing that any bidder is interested in more than one bid for the bid contemplated will cause rejection of all bids in which such bidder is interested. If there is reason for believing that collusion exists among the bidders, any and all bids may be rejected. Bidders must execute and submit with their bid the Non-Collusion Affidavit included in the bid document.

2.18 Identical Bids
In the case of tied or identical bids corresponding to the proposed unit costs, BACC reserves the right to award the bid based on additional criteria. If a tied bid is not rejected for any reason as described in paragraph 2.16 Method of Award, then any additional costs described in the “Specific Deviations” such as short load adders, will be used to determine the lowest responsive bidder. If considering additional costs as described in the “Specific Deviations” still doesn’t produce a winning bidder (i.e. if the tied bidders quote identical short load adder prices), then any exceptions or conditions described in the “Specific Deviations” will be considered in an effort to determine the lowest responsive bidder. If the latter still fails to produce a winning bidder, then BACC will draw lots by placing the names of the tied bidders in a hat and drawing a name. If drawing lots is deemed necessary, BACC will schedule a time to draw lots and the tied bidders will be invited to attend and witness the drawing.

The successful bidder may not change the price throughout the term of the contract unless by mutual written agreement between BACC agency and successful bidder per Section 4.4 Modification of Contract.

3.6 Taxes
Pursuant to the Sales and Use Tax Law, water treatment facilities are entitled to submit Resale Certificates to the California State Board of Equalization which exempt that utility from paying sales tax on any chemical purchased for the expressed use of producing a consumable water product. The participating BACC agencies that provide potable and/or recycled water to customers will be responsible for providing the successful bidder with these certificates or letter documenting their determination if the chemical they seek to purchase is exempt from sales tax. BACC agencies that do not notify the successful bidder that their agency is exempt from paying sales tax shall be invoiced with sales tax shown as a separate, itemized cost on the invoice. Chemicals purchased solely for the use in wastewater treatment and disposal facilities are subject to sales tax.

3.7 Delivery Requirements
Bidders are responsible for reviewing each of the listed delivery locations or geographic regions for each participating BACC agency and ensuring that their product can be delivered to each location prior to submitting a bid. Bidders that intend to utilize the services of a third party hauling company for some or all of their deliveries are responsible for ensuring that the hauler they have selected can and will deliver their product to each location listed in Section III-2, Delivery Details, and for submitting an affidavit pertaining to assurance with their bid. Failure to provide this assurance and submit an affidavit may be cause for rejecting their bid. Delivery bills of lading must be provided for each shipment. All bulk shipments must include a weight ticket from a certified weigh station in addition to a shipping manifest. Delivery times and dates must be coordinated between the successful bidder and each participating BACC agency on a schedule that meets the needs of the BACC agency, but at no time can a delivery occur more than seven (7) days after the order is placed unless the respective BACC agency requests a later delivery. No delivery can be made when a BACC agency representative is not on site. The successful bidder must notify the BACC agency of any anticipated late deliveries at least 24 hours in advance of the scheduled delivery time and date, unless delivery delays are the result of in-route transportation delays, then notification must be provided as soon as possible to inform the BACC agency of the anticipated delivery date and time.

Persistently late or cancelled deliveries (defined as three or more over the contract period) may be used as a basis for contract termination. Failure to provide notice of late delivery as required by this section may also be a basis for contract termination. Any deliveries not meeting chemical quality, regulatory, safety, or delivery requirements will be returned to the successful bidder at no cost to the BACC agency, and must be re-delivered by the bidder within 48 hours of the unacceptable delivery.

To the fullest extent allowed by law, the successful bidder and its employees, subcontractors, and agents shall defend, indemnify, and save and hold harmless each participating BACC agency, its officers, agents, employees and volunteers from any claims, suits or actions of every name, kind and description brought forth, or on account of, injuries to or death of any person (including but not limited to workers and the public), or damage to property, resulting from or arising out of the successful bidder's or its personnel, employees, agents, or subcontractors’ willful misconduct or negligent act or omission while engaged in the performance of services described in this bid document, except those matters arising from the participating BACC agency's sole negligence or willful misconduct. The parties intend that this provision shall be broadly construed.

This indemnification includes, without limitation, the payment of all penalties, fines, forfeitures, judgments, awards, decrees, attorney’s fees, and related costs or expenses, and the reimbursement of any BACC agency, its officials, officers, employees, agents, and volunteers for all legal expenses and costs incurred by each of them.

The successful bidder’s responsibility for such defense and indemnity obligations shall survive the termination or completion of the contract for the full period of time allowed by law. The defense and indemnity obligations of the contract are undertaken in addition to, and shall not in any way be limited by, the insurance obligations contained in the contract.

If the successful bidder should subcontract all or any portion of the work to be performed under the contract, the successful bidder shall require each subcontractor to indemnify, hold harmless and defend each participating BACC agency and each of its officials, officers, employees, agents and volunteers in accordance with the terms of the preceding paragraphs.

4.2 Bid Protests
Any bid protest must be submitted electronically via email to the BACC Coordinator before 3:30 p.m. on the fifth (5th) business day following bid opening ([email protected]). a. The protest document must be provided as one PDF and must contain a complete statement of the basis for the protest and all supporting documentation and evidence. b. The party filing the protest must have actually submitted a bid for the chemical. A subcontractor of a party submitting a bid for the chemical may not submit a bid protest. A party may not rely on the bid protest submitted by another bidder, but must timely pursue its own protest.

d. The protest must include the name, address and telephone number of the person representing the protesting party.
e. The party filing the protest must concurrently transmit a copy of the protest document and any attached documentation to all other parties with a direct financial interest which may be adversely affected by the outcome of the protest. Such parties shall include all other bidders who appear to have a reasonable prospect of receiving an award depending upon the outcome of the protest.
f. BACC will give the bidder that is the subject of the protest five (5) business days after the receipt of the protest to submit a written response. The responding bidder shall submit the response to the protesting bidder concurrent with delivery to BACC. g. The procedure and time limits set forth in this paragraph are mandatory and are the bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy in the event of bid protest. All protests and responses received after the time set forth herein will be rejected. The bidder’s failure to comply with these procedures shall constitute a waiver of any right to further pursue the bid protest. h. BACC will not be responsible for any delays or transmission errors. The protesting bidder accepts all risk of late delivery of electronic protests. If is the protesting bidder’s responsibility to ensure that a submittal protest is received by the bid coordinator listed in this solicitation by the due date and time. Protesting bidders should contact the bid coordinator to make sure that their electronic submittal has gone through.
i. If BACC determines that a protest is frivolous, the protesting bidder may be determined to be non-responsible and that bidder may be determined to be ineligible for future contract awards.

4.3 Equal Opportunity
The successful bidder must agree not to refuse the hire, discharge, promote, or to otherwise discriminate in the matters of compensation against any person otherwise qualified solely because of race, creed, sex, national origin, ancestry, or physical handicap. It must be a condition that any company firm or corporation supplying goods or services, must be in compliance with the Americans with Disabilities (ADA) Act of 1990. A certificate stating compliance with the ADA may be required, upon request, by any BACC agency.

4.4 Modification of Contract

4.5 Common Language
Unless otherwise specified in this document, all words must be given their plain, common and ordinary meaning unless the context in which they are used clearly requires a different meaning. Words in the singular number include the plural, and in the plural include the singular. Additionally, words in the masculine gender include the feminine and the neuter, and when the sense so indicates, words of the neuter gender may refer to any gender.

4.6 Proprietary Information
All information included in any bid proposal that is of a propriety nature must be clearly marked as such.

Each BACC agency must be held harmless from any claims arising from the release of proprietary information not clearly designated as such by the Bidder.

4.7 Patent Guarantee
The bidder must, with respect to any bidder’s standard products, indemnify, defend and hold harmless each participating BACC agency, its employees and agents, from any and all costs and damages because of claims or litigation on account of infringement or alleged infringement of any letters patent or patent rights by reason of the sale or normal use of such products, provided that the bidder is promptly notified of all such actual or potential infringement suits, and is given an opportunity to participate in the defense of the participating BACC agencies.

4.8 Quality Control
The bidder’s chemical may be inspected and/or sampled before, during, or after any delivery and tested to confirm compliance with all of the specifications. Persistent clogging, deliveries containing significant amounts of debris, and/or chemical not meeting the technical specifications will be considered to be deficiencies. If deficiencies are detected, the chemical will be rejected and the bidder will be required to remove and replace any and all of the chemical and clean the associated tanks and piping that are contaminated by a delivery that is determined to be deficient, at no cost to the participating BACC agency.

If the bidder fails to remove and replace the deficient chemical in a timely manner after being notified of the problem by the participating agency, the participating agency may remove and dispose of the contaminated chemical and clean the chemical storage tank or tanks and the associated piping all at the bidder’s expense. Payment for the delivered chemical will not be made until the defects are corrected and the chemical is properly replaced and accepted. Repeat failures to comply with the specifications must constitute grounds for termination of the contract.

4.9 Term of Contract
The term of the contract between the respective BACC agency and the successful bidder will be twelve (12) months commencing July 1, 2024, and expiring June 30, 2025, with an option to extend the contract on a year-to-year basis, not to exceed three (3) yearly renewals if conditions and service are satisfactory to both the respective BACC agency and the successful bidder. The price for any succeeding periods of service shall be determined by negotiation between the respective BACC agency and the successful bidder.

Page 53 of 77 ends

4.10 Good Faith Bidding and Contracting
The participating BACC agencies listed on this bid solicitation are bidding in good faith and have agreed not to extend an existing bid in lieu of contracting with the lowest responsive bidder. However, nothing in this bid solicitation shall prevent a BACC agency from rejecting all bids and separately procuring the services they require, if deemed in the best interest of their respective agency.

4.11 Termination of Contract
Any BACC agency may terminate their contract with the successful bidder for any reason by providing the successful bidder written notice of termination, and specifying the effective date thereof, at least thirty (30) days before the effective date. Termination of the contract by one BACC agency does not affect the contractual relationship between the successful bidder and any other BACC agency.

4.12 Termination for Cause
In the event of a breach of any term or provision of the contract by the successful bidder, a BACC agency may terminate the contract with respect to supply of chemicals for that agency by providing the successful bidder with written notice of such termination, and specifying the effective date thereof, at least ten (10) days before the effective date. Termination of the contract by one BACC agency does not affect the contractual relationship between the successful bidder and any other BACC agency.

4.13 Effect of Termination
Any termination by a BACC agency, with or without cause, must not affect the validity of the contract between the successful bidder and any other BACC agency, nor must such action affect any rights, remedies, or obligations of the successful bidder or any other BACC agency.

4.14 Assignment
The successful bidder must under no circumstances assign the contract without the prior written consent of each participating BACC agency. Any assignment, or attempt at assignment, made without such consent of each participating BACC agency may be considered a breach of contract.

4.15 Competitiveness and Integrity
The participating BACC agencies have assigned control of the acquisition process to the BACC coordinating agency identified in the Notice Inviting Sealed Bids of this document, to prevent biased evaluations and to preserve the competitiveness and integrity of such acquisition efforts. Bidders are to direct all communications regarding this bid to the designated BACC Coordinator, unless otherwise specifically noted, or unless approved in writing by the BACC Coordinator. Attempts by bidders to circumvent this requirement will be viewed negatively and may result in rejection of the offending bidder’s offer. The BACC Coordinator may refer communications to other participating BACC agencies for clarification. -END OF SECTIONEXHIBIT 2 Contract with Thatcher Company of California for Sodium Bisulfite
