Body
Summary:
On Tuesday May 21, 2019, the City Council awarded the bid for Sodium Hexametaphosphate, a chemical used at the Water Treatment Plant, to Carcus Corporation. Due to a clerical oversight, the City inadvertently identified Carcus Corporation as the low bidder and the bid was awarded to Carcus Corporation in error.
