All above are the lowest bids. Aqua Mag is current corrosion inhibitor and bid was conducted by
Informal Bid Process. North Carolina AquaMag suppliers were solicited for bids and Amerochem was
lowest at $0.595/ wet pound. The Lime Slurry supplier is to remain the same as last year (Polytec Inc.)
through a contract extension being handled by the Legal Department. The Water and Wastewater
Department are exercising last year's bid package option due to the pumping equipment and material
handling containers logistics problems and chemical feed disruptions that would be encountered by
switchover to new vendor. Polytec has agreed to hold the price the same as last year at $0.055/ wet lb.
Thanks,
Allan O'Briant

Subject: Chemical Bid Award Recommendation
Mr. Ward,
As you are aware, we recently completed the bid process wastewater chemicals for fiscal year 2012 -2013.
The closure of both the Swift and Erwin facilities has eliminated the need for Caustic, Bleach and Sodium
Bisulfite for the coming fiscal year. This leaves only Calcium Nitrate used for collection system odor
control. I have thoroughly reviewed each bid and am pleased to recommend that we award as follows.
Chemical Vendor Priec/Callon
Calcium Nitrate Cape Fear Water Solutions $ 1.89
Explanation of Awards —
1) In an effort to rein in costs, we dropped the service aspect of the bid solicitation and we be
performing all system testing in house. This has allowed for a savings of roughly 33% compared
to the winning bid from fiscal 2012 -2013.
Respectfully,
Kenneth W. Fail
