(continued)

January 2026

The bidder shall submit the most recent Safety Data Sheet (SDS) with their bid.

Ordering

A local, toll-free or collect call arrangement must be provided so telephone orders do not require long distance charges

to be incurred by the City. Although each sodium hypochlorite shipment ordered will normally be a minimum 4,000

gallons, the City reserves the right to order volumes greater or lesser this amount. Typical shipments received are

45,000 – 46,000 pounds.

The city has the right to cancel or reschedule all orders 24 hours before the scheduled delivery day.

Example: The scheduled delivery is set for a Thursday as early as 8:00 A.M. The city calls to cancel the delivery at

7:59 A.M. on Wednesday. This would not incur any fees or additional charges.

Deliveries

Sodium hypochlorite shall be shipped in tank trailers, designed solely for that purpose, to the City’s Water

Reclamation Facility, 2800 Guthrie Road, Dayton, OH 45417. Deliveries will be accepted at the Sludge Pumping

Station Building between the hours of 8:00 A.M. and 1:00 P.M. on the day specified by the City when placing the

order. Any delivery times outside this schedule will require City pre-approval. Deliveries are normally scheduled

Monday through Friday, excluding holidays; however, the City may request emergency deliveries on Saturday,

Sunday, and holidays, with no additional cost to the City.

Sampling, Testing, Accepting / Rejecting Delivery

A Certificate of Analysis verifying the sodium hypochlorite concentration of 12.5% by weight, density, and/or specific

gravity, shall accompany each shipment and shall be given to a City representative, e.g., a supervisor or operator. At

the point of delivery, while in the presence of a City employee, the delivery driver shall take a sample of the tanker’s

contents and submit the sample to the City employee. For this purpose, the delivery driver will be provided a container

to collect the sample. The sample will be immediately tested to determine the sodium hypochlorite concentration. If,

in the opinion of the City, the sodium hypochlorite concentration percentage is incorrect and/or the sodium

hypochlorite contains impurities, residuals, etc., the City reserves the right to reject the delivery and/or terminate the

contract completely. If the shipment is rejected, the delivery driver will be notified immediately. If the shipment is

accepted, City personnel will instruct the delivery driver to unload the shipment into the assigned storage tanks.

Equipment

All sodium hypochlorite loads must be delivered in tanker trucks capable of being conveniently unloaded at the Sludge

Pumping Station Building at the Water Reclamation Facility. The tanker trucks shall be equipped with apparatus to

pump the sodium hypochlorite into one or more of three (3) above ground 6,000-gallon fiberglass reinforced polyester

(FRP) storage tanks located inside the Sludge Pumping Station Building. Air padding may be used, but air pressure

shall not exceed 20 psi. The tanker truck shall be equipped with apparatus to connect to a 2-inch quick connect fitting

on the fill line of the storage tanks. This connection is located outside, on the south side of the Sludge Pumping

Station Building at the garage door.
