Additional treatment equipment will be provided by the Contractor. Any relocation of the water treatment equipment must be performed and supervised by the contractor and approved by the

COR.

h. Environmental Protection. All material provided by the contractor shall be compatible with applicable local, state and federal regulations regarding environmental protection. Handling and storage equipment shall all be in compliance with applicable OSHA regulations.

i. Chemical Safeguards. The contractor shall warrant that the chemicals used in the water treatment program will not endanger the health or safety of persons coming into contact with the materials and will not damage personal or real property as long as the contractor's instructions are followed. The contractor also warrants that the chemical used in the water treatment program shall have no detrimental effect on the metallic or non-metallic materials in the equipment being treated.

The Contractor will ensure, that a Material Safety Data Sheet accompanies all first time orders and that the Contractor operates a 24-hour, 7 days per week emergency telephone number which can be called for emergency information regarding chemical spills and/or accidents and/or accidents involving Contractor's products. Include a copy of an MSDS and a description of the emergency phone network your company offers.

j. Packaging. The treatment supplied by the Contractor shall be especially designed and formulated for the type of water being used in each system. Each package of treatment shall be labeled describing the contents and directions for use. Cooling tower condenser water treatment should be shipped in bulk, and delivered directly into the tank in the cooling tower chiller room (minimum of 250 gallons).

k. Submittals. Prior to award of contract, the Contractor shall submit for approval detailed descriptive literature of the treatment proposed. Five copies of such literature shall be submitted to the Contracting Officer for approval.

3. COOLING TOWER

Scale and Corrosion Control. Provide a single liquid cooling water treatment to control PH and corrosion in air conditioning condenser water systems. The use of toxic and staining corrosion inhibitors such as chromates will not be permitted. Corrosion inhibitors selected shall have been proved effective by at least one year use by the Contractor. Poly-phosphates are not considered as effective corrosion inhibitors. Corrosion shall be controlled below 3 mils and PH between 7.4 and 8.2.

Water Sampling for control Legionnaires’ Disease Bacteria (LDB). Effective water treatment, including biocides and dispersants, along with system maintenance should reduce the growth of LDB. The Association of Water Technologies recommends testing for LDB periodically within a Cooling Tower system to monitor and control the growth. The Contractor shall sample and conduct a lab analysis for growth of LDB in the Cooling Tower system annually.

4. STEAM BOILER (HUMIDIFCATION) TREATMENT

Service shall consist of treating the make-up water to the boilers with carbonate cycle treatment.

This treatment should provide protection of the boiler system against corrosion, scale formation, sludge, boiler water carryover due to foaming and condensate system corrosion. With this blend of treatment you should be able to test daily for the following:

Hardness: 0.00 Iron: 0.00 Total Dissolved Solids: 1500 - 1750 PPM (as CaCo3) Silica: 60 PPM maximum Sludge Conditioner: 200 - 300 PPM Sulfite: 10 to 20 PPM

5. CONDENSER WATER TREATMENT

a. Service shall consist of treating the make-up water to the cooling towers with the most appropriate chemicals selected by the contractor. This treatment will provide complete protection of the condenser system against corrosion, scale formation, and biological growth. The Contractor shall maintain the following water characteristics within the condenser water system:

Biostate and a Bioside control both growths to 0.
