WATER UTILITIES DEPARTMENT-
INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM
Date: January 28, 2021
To: The Honorable Mayor and City Council
Through: Ronald Burton, City Manager
From: Donnie Stanton, Interim Director of Water Utilities
RE: PR 21783 —Resolution Amending Res. No. 21-005 for Phosphate & Chlorine
Introduction:
On January 19, 2021, the City Council passed Resolution No. 21-005, which contained
authorization for the City Manager to purchase Phosphate from Shannon Chemical Corp. of
Malvern, Pennsylvania for a bid of$0.37711b. After the passage of the resolution, an error was
discovered in the bid tabulation. The bid tabulation reflected $0.437/lb. for Carus, LLC of Peru,
Illinois. In review of the original bid documents, it was discovered that the correct pricing from
Carus, LLC was $0.37/lb., making Carus, LLC the lowest bidder instead of Shannon Chemical
Corp., whose quote was $0.377/1b. The projected budgetary impact for the corrected pricing
from Carus, LLC of Peru, Illinois, with a bid of$49,950.00, will save the Water Department
$945.00. The intent of this Agenda Item is to seek City Council's approval to amend Resolution
No. 21-005, which authorized the execution of a contract and the purchase of Phosphate for the
Water Utilities Department from Shannon Chemical Corp. of Malvern, Pennsylvania in the
amount of$50,895.00.
Resolution No. 21-005 also contained authorization for the City Manager to purchase 1-ton
chlorine cylinders from Brenntag Southwest, Inc. of Lancaster, Texas for a bid of$719.00/ton.
After the passage of the resolution, Brenntag Southwest, Inc. sent a letter, stating that, due to
clerical error on their part, they wish to withdraw their bid.
The increase in pricing from the next lowest bidder, DXI Industries of Houston, Texas, with a
bid of$730.00 will cost $11 more per cylinder. The projected budgetary impact for the pricing
from DXI Industries, Inc. of Houston, Texas, with a bid of$237,250.00,will increase the Water
Department expenditures by$3,575.00. The intent of this Agenda Item is to seek City Council's
approval to amend Resolution No. 21-005, which authorized the execution of a contract and the
purchase of 1-ton chlorine cylinders for the Water Utilities Department from Brenntag
Southwest, Inc. of Lancaster, Texas and award the contract to DXI Industries, Inc of Houston,
Texas.

was$0.37/Ib.,making Carus,LLC the lowest bidder instead of Shannon Chemical Corp.,whose
quote was $0.377/1b. The lowest solicited bidder, Carus, LLC of Peru, Illinois, is now chosen,

4. First Aid Measures
General Ensure that medical personnel are aware of the material(s)involved and take precautions to protect
themselves.
Inhalation Move victim to fresh air.Apply artificial respiration if victim is not breathing.Do not use mouth-to-
mouth method if victim ingested or inhaled the substance;induce artificial respiration with the aid of a
pocket mask equipped with a one-way valve or other proper respiratory medical device.Administer
oxygen if breathing is difficult. GET IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ATTENTION
Eyes Flush immediately with clean fresh water for at least 10 minutes,holding the eyelids apart.
Remove contact lenses, if present, and safe to do so. Continue rinsing. GET IMMEDIATE
MEDICAL ATTENTION.
Skin In case of contact with substance, immediately flush skin with running water for at least 20 minutes.
Exposure to liquid may cause frostbite burns. Remove contaminated clothing,jewelry and shoes.
Wash skin with soap and water. Thoroughly clean and dry contaminated clothing and shoes before
reuse. GET IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ATTENTION
Ingestion If accidentally swallowed obtain IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ATTENTION. Keep at rest. Do NOT induce
vomiting. Ingestion not considered a likely route of exposure.

Special hazards May cause fire or explosion;strong oxidizer. Contents under pressure. Pressurized container may
arising from the explode when exposed to heat or flame.Contact with reactive metals e.g., aluminum,zinc and tin
substance or may result in the generation of flammable hydrogen gas.Water used for fire extinguishing,which has
mixture been in contact with the product, may be corrosive.Water spray on active leak may promote
accelerated corrosion of container and accelerate rate of leakage.
Advice for fire- Wear full protective clothing, including helmet,self-contained positive pressure or pressure
fighters demand breathing apparatus,protective clothing and face mask.Additional protective clothing
must be worn to prevent personal contact with this material.Those items include but are not
limited to: boots gloves, hard hat,splash-proof goggles,full face shield and impervious clothing,
i.e.chemically impermeable suit. Compatible materials for response to this material are neoprene
and butyl rubber.
In case of fire and/or explosion do not breathe fumes. Remove pressurized gas cylinders from the
immediate vicinity. Cylinders can burst violently when heated,due to excess pressure build-up.
Cool containers/tanks with water spray. Evacuate area and fight fire remotely due to the risk of
explosion.

6. Accidental Release Measures
Personal Immediately evacuate personnel to safe areas. Many gases are heavier than air and will spread along
precautions, ground and collect in low or confined areas(sewers, basements,tanks). Keep people away from and
protective upwind of spill/leak. Keep out of low areas. Keep unnecessary personnel away.Ventilate closed
equipment and spaces before entering them.Wear appropriate protective equipment and clothing during clean-up.
emergency Local authorities should be advised if significant spillages cannot be contained. For response to
procedures Chlorine gas it is recommended to use as a minimum level"B"protection that is compatible to
Chlorine. For Liquid spills it is recommended to utilize as a minimum enhanced level "B"(Enhanced
Level"B"is the addition of a splash hood). Do not touch damaged containers or spilled material
unless wearing appropriate protective clothing. Responders can reference Chlorine Institute pamphlet
#65 on PPE.
Environmental Avoid discharge into drains,water courses or onto the ground.Contact local authorities in case of
precautions spillage to drain/aquatic environment.
Methods and Extinguish all flames in the vicinity. Keep combustibles(wood, paper,oil,etc.)away from spilled
material for material.Ventilate well,stop flow of gas or liquid if possible. If possible,turn leaking containers so that
containment and gas escapes rather than liquid. Dike far ahead of spill for later disposal. Isolate area until gas has
cleaning up dispersed. Neutralize spilled material with crushed limestone,soda ash or lime. Collect spillage.
7. Handling and storage
Avoid heat, sparks,open flames and other ignition sources. Keep away from clothing and other
Precautions for combustible materials. Use only chlorine-compatible lubricants. Do not use greases and oils. Do
safe handling not breathe gas. Do not get in eyes,on skin,on clothing. Use in a sealed system and/or a
well-ventilated area.Wear appropriate personal protective equipment. Observe good industrial
_hygiene practices.Avoid release to the environment.

Chlorine-(7782-50-5) LC50 Inhalation Gas. Rat 147 ppm 4 hours
LC50 Inhalation Rat 293 ppm 1 hour
Item Hazard
Acute Toxicity: 0.2-0.4 ppm odor detection(some tolerance develops)
1 -3 ppm mild mucous membrane irritation(can be tolerated— 1 hour)
5- 15 ppm moderate irritation of upper respiratory tract
30 ppm immediate chest pain.vomiting,dyspnea,cough
40-60 ppm toxic pneumonitis and pulmonary edema
430 ppm lethal over 30 minutes
1000 ppm fatal within a few minutes
It's action in the respiratory tract is due to its strong oxidizing capability: it forms
both hypochlorous acid and hypochloric acid on contact with moist mucous
membranes.Symptoms of pulmonary congestion and edema may develop after a
latency period of several hours following severe acute exposure to chlorine.
