BACKGROUND:
To aid the overall wastewater treatment process, the District utilizes a large volume of a variety of chemicals at its treatment facilities, including aluminum sulfate, citric acid, ferric chloride, sodium bisulfite, sodium hydroxide, and sodium hypochlorite. Chemical expenses continue to be one of the largest operational expenditures to treat the wastewater.

Staff recommends that the bid be awarded to Thatcher Company of Nevada, Inc. (LBE) for Lots 1 & 5; Brenntag Pacific, Inc. (LBE) for Lots 2 & 4: Pencco Inc. (LBE) for Lot 3; and Pioneer Americas LLC, a wholly subsidiary of Olin Corporation (LBE), for Lot 6, as the lowest responsive and responsible bidders for the named lots.
