Summary
At the July 8 meeting Jason Ingram opened bids for 2026 liquid aluminum sulfate used for phosphorus removal; only Chemtrade submitted a packet with a quoted annual cost of $108,225 and the board agreed to take the bid under advisement pending legal review.
Jason Ingram, water pollution control facility superintendent, opened the 2026 bid packet for liquid aluminum sulfate — the chemical used for phosphorus removal before discharge to the river — and reported the board received one bid from Chemtrade with a total annual cost of $108,225.
Ingram said Chemtrade is the plant’s current supplier and recommended the board take the bid under advisement while legal review is completed. Chair told the board the item will be approved at the next board meeting assuming it meets legal requirements; Commissioners did not record a formal motion on the bid opening itself in the transcript.
No contract award was recorded at the July 8 meeting. Chair said the board will consider formal approval at the next meeting if legal review is satisfactory.
