The County seeks to establish contracts for the supply and delivery of various water treatment chemicals including aluminum sulfate (alum), ferric sulfate, sodium hypochlorite, calcium hypochlorite, polymer coagulant aids, soda ash, lime, and related treatment products to support the County's water system operations. The document outlines technical specifications, delivery requirements, and performance standards for chemical suppliers.

The contract term is anticipated to be one year from the award date, with potential renewal options for additional one-year periods at the County's discretion.
