Explanation
This legislation authorizes the Director of Finance and Management to establish blanket purchase orders for the Purchase of Organic Emulsion Polymer for the Division of Sewerage and Drainage, Southerly and Jackson Pike Wastewater Treatment Plants in accordance with a Universal Term Contract established by the Purchasing Office.
Organic Emulsion Polymer is used at both wastewater treatment plants as a sludge conditioner in the sludge dewatering process. Organic Emulsion Polymer is needed to change sludge into solid form and is fed into high speed centrifuges. The chemical is used all season and is an important component of the solids handling process at wastewater treatment plants. The Purchasing Office has established a Universal Term Contract FL004578, which expires March 31, 2013 for the purchase of Organic Emulsion Polymer with Polydyne, Inc.
SUPPLIER: Polydyne Inc (34-1810283) Expires 1-27-14
