This document is a sole source letter from Evoqua Water Technologies LLC dated February 1, 2024, addressed to Collier County, Florida, regarding the VoCarb® 36C Carbon product. The letter confirms that VoCarb® 36C Carbon is a unique product designed specifically for removing hydrogen sulfide and other odorous compounds in wastewater applications, and that Evoqua Water Technologies is the sole provider of this carbon media.

The letter serves to support Collier County's intent to designate Evoqua Water Technologies as a single source provider for various water treatment technologies and chemical solutions. These include specific systems and components such as Rim-Flo circular systems, Envirex Chain & Scraper systems, Rotating Biological Contactors, Gravisand Sand Filter Systems, and multiple chemical solutions like ODOPHOS Iron Salts, BIOXIDE Solutions, and hydrogen peroxide chemical feed systems. The communication indicates that this is not a competitive bid process, but rather a determination to work exclusively with Evoqua Water Technologies for specialized water treatment equipment and services.
