BACKGROUND:
The District operates twenty-one odor control sites where a Calcium Nitrate Treatment Solution is introduced into the collection system's influent to prevent sulfide formation and associated odors. In addition to suppressing odors, the reduction of sulfide aids the overall wastewater treatment process by reducing the amount of chemicals required to treat the influent at the plant, and reduces corrosion within the sanitary sewer collection system. In order to properly maintain the overall water quality, a readily available supply of Calcium Nitrate Treatment Solution is necessary to meet environment, public health, and safety standards.
An Invitation to Bid (ITB) No. 230022, for the procurement of Calcium Nitrate Treatment Solution, was advertised on February 2, 2023, in the Las Vegas Review Journal and posted on the District website. On March 16, 2023, five (5) firms responded by submitting bids. The bid results are as follows:
