The media must reduce H2S concentrations from 650-1,000 ppm to below 600 ppm (targeting below 500 ppm), with a minimum 95% removal efficiency and without requiring water addition.

The solicitation does not specify any specific set-aside designations or restrictions on respondent types. Vendors must comply with Ada County Procurement Purchase Order Terms for Goods, including insurance requirements: workers' compensation insurance, employers' liability coverage of $100,000 per accident, commercial general liability of $2,000,000 general aggregate, and business automobile liability of $1,000,000 per accident.
