The first two points raised questions regarding the chemicals and formulas provided by Nalco. The third point stated that the report done by Silver State was not acknowledged by anyone.

Specification and Vendor Submittal Review

IV - Service Specifications

Bid NO. 603447-14

Introduction: A review was performed that compared the specification requirements with a list of

possible or proposed chemical additives from Nalco.

Nalco products will meet or exceed the outcome requirements, control of biological growth and

inhibit metal corrosion, with the appropriate blend of additives. Below are comparisons of actual

chemical additive specifications compared to Nalco additives. Nalco has given options that may be

more environmentally friendly which will accomplish the requlredoutcome.

The below tables list the spec requirements and Nalco products which generally meet these

requirements. Exceptions to the specification are listed and should be discussed with the vendor.

Sections. TOWER WATER TREATMENT OPEN SYSTEM (open cooling tower)

Requirements Nalco Equivalent

inhibitor: Molybdenum- Mild steel corrosion inhibitor TRASAR TRAC10I (ii4uid)

Phosphonate - inhibits threshold scale build up 30 TRASAR 301265 (liquid)

Polymer- dispersant 3D TRASAR 3DT265 or

TRASAR TRAC101

Azole -Copper corrosion inhibitor 3D TRASAR 3DT265 or

TRASAR TRAC 101

Comments: in general, the Nalco products listed above can be used to meet the

requirements in the specification. To meet the requirements as written, the two liquids

would have to be blended. if you want to eliminate Molybdenum in an open system

because of environmental concerns, the 3D TRASAR 3DT 265 by itself would probably be

sufficient since there is a blend of different phosphonate Inhibitors for both threshold

level scale and ferrous corrosion inhibition.

C-4710 is a powder that inhibits carbon steel corrosion using a nitrite, copper alloy using

a mercaptobenzothiazoie and a scale/deposit control using anionic polymer, it is not

recommended for open systems such as this one.

0

Dispersant: The dispersant, which is the polymer, Is Incorporated Into the liquIds. It would not

be added separately.

Non-Oxidized (-ing?) Biocide Treatment Method:

Non-Oxidizing NAICO 7330 biocide (liquid)

Liquid bromine donor (oxidizing). STABREX 5170 (stabilized liquid)

Combination Bromine/chlorine (oxidizing) NAICO 7346 TAB (solid tabs)

Comments: When the specifications Indicated non-oxidizing Eherniôals, they are also

required that there be a free chlorine residual between 0.9 and 1.0 ppm. Non-oxidizing

chemicals do not release free chlorine; only oxidizing chemicals will release free -

halogens (chlorine/bromine). The vendor representative will be able to tell if the

combination of non-oxidizing and oxidizing chemicals are compatible.

The non-oxidizing (NALCO 7330) and the oxidizing stabilized liquid bromine (STABREX

5170) reacts less with organic contaminants than traditional bromine/chlorine oxidizers

to help meet Absorbable Organohalogens (AOX) and Trihalornethanes (THM) discharge

restrictions.

4710 powder since both these products contain nitrites. If molybdenum is absolutely

required, 3D TRASAR 30T265 does not contain molybdenum and could not be used by

Itself. The vendor representatIve could help determine If exciusion of nitrites Is

necessary and if molybdenum Is required or a sUbstitution would be advantageous.

Conclusion:

30 TRASAR 301701 isa product to passivate metals (provide a thin oxide layer on metal surfaced to

inhibit (lash corrosion). Passivatibn is usually done on new equipment before Installation, during turn-

around when equipment Is cleaned and inspected, and when excursions of low pH have been observed.

This product was given for consideration to help improve the corrosion resistance in equipment,

especially in pH excursions.

Any of the products that are listed above will inhibit corrosion and/or biological growth. As stated

above, C-4710 Is not for open system. The vendor representative will be able to advise you on which is

best for your system and any equipment changes that may be required to the delivery system for their

products. -

There is a possible concern about nitrites in the TRASAR TRAC101 and PJAICO C-4710 products. We do

not know what the concentration in the products or the final concentration in the systems are. The

concentration of nitrites may be a discharge issue and should be considered.

RE: Bid No. 603447-14 Annual Requirements Contract for Water Treatment Program Protest

Dear Adriane,

we are protesting the Intent to Award to Nalco Company for water treatment products and services. Our specific protest is related to section N-Service SpecIfications Revised Per Addendum No. 1. Nalco is not meeting the specifications with regards to the following items:

I. Two chemicals are needed to be mixed to meet specifications (31) Trasar 3DT 265 and 3D Trasar 3DT 701). Section5. Tower Treatment Open System Section A & B state that the inhibitor from the successful bidder shall use the one-drum water treatment approach. In addition, the independent analysis performed by Silver State also reaffirms this concern.

Nalco Trasar Trac 101 and Nalco C-4710 are both nitrite based product for the use in closed loop applications and the specification in section 6.A.1 calls for molybdenum and clearly states the "Product should be free of all glycols and nitrites."

The report done by Silver State Analytical Laboratories that was performed for the County to ensure the Nalco products meet your specifications was not acknowledged by anyone from Silver State. Both comments from Section 5 and 6 confirm our findings with theirs that the Nalco products are not meeting your specifications.

Past history of the previous RFP showed that the Nalco bid was rejected for the same reasons we are now protesting.

The reason these types of products have been specified by Clark County is to insure that they maintain the highest standard in the industry and are crucial to properly protecting your expensive infrastructure.

Subject: -Bid No. 603447-34 Annual Requirements Contract for Water Treatment Program Protest

Dear Ms Garcia:

Following are our comments concerning the Protest by Chemtex that was forwarded to Silver Slate Ana)yticaJ Laboratories.

I. Two chemicals are needed to be mixed to meet specifications (3D IRASAR 3DT265 and 3D Trasar 3DT 701). Section 5 Tower Treatment Open System Section A & B state that the inhibitor from the successful bidder--shall use the one-drum water treatment approach. in addition, the independent analysis performed by Silver State also reaffirmed this concei-h. -

Comments: We did not continn that the delivery system would use more than one-drum. it was not in our scope of work. We confirmed if you absolutely had to have Molybdenum in the system, then more than one product would need to be used. For all we know they would blend for a one-drum delivery or add it by two-drum or maybe a more sophisticated method. There are equivalent options for delivery. Also, we concluded that the 3D TRASAR 3D1265 could handle the mild steel dorrosion issue which molybdenum does without the use of molybdenum and inhibit threshold scale build up and copper corrosion as well.

2. Nalco Trasar Trac 101 and Nalco C4710 are both nitrite based product for the use in closed loop applications and the specification in section 6.A.1 calls for molybdenum and clearly states the "product should be free of all glycols and nitrites."

Comments: This comment is correct for nitrite based products. if the emphasis is on inhibiting mild steel con-osion and not so much on what chemical is employed to do so, Nalco does have aJternatives that are not nitrite based.

3. The report done by Silver State Analytical laboratories that was performed for the

County to enswt the Nalco products meet your specifications was not acknowledged by

anyone from Silver State. Both comments from Section Sand 6 confirm our findings with theirs that the Nalco products are not meeting your speciiications.

Comments: The report was acknowledged in the covet letter sent with the report. We acknowledged that the "Nalco products will meet or exceed the outcome requiremeng.c, control of biological growth and inhibit metal corrosion, with the appropriate blend of additives.' That is to say, the. specification that corosion and scale be inhibited and

biological growth be controlled, is met by Nalco products. The exact formulation and blenqs will vary from company to company. Each company has their own proprietary

blends to be "better and/or improved" then the next. That is normal competition and progress.

The bid did state in Section I C. "SUCCESSFUL BIDDER shall offer recommendations for inzpros'ing the chemical %l'ater h'eatrnent prothici or equipment operation," We interpreted that phase to mean that the inhibitor chemicals specified were a baseline for

functionality, i.e. Molybdenum for mild steel corrosion, phosphonate to inhibit threshold

scale build up, etc. There are many ehemicais that will do the same thing and the number of options will probably increase as research in corrosion inhibition continues.

I hope this answers any question you may have. Please do not hesitate to contaci me with any questions or comments either by e-mail or phone, (702-873-4478).

Subject: Bid 603447-14 Annual lequirements Contract for Water Treatment, Protest Response

Dear Ms. Garcia,

Please see the comments below concerning the protest that was issued by Chemtex upon the notification

that Nalco was given the notice of intent to award the water treatment contact.

I.) Two chemicals are needed to be mixed to meet specifications (31) Trasar 3D1265 and 3Dlrasar

3DT 701), Section 5. l'ower Treatment Open System Section A & B state that the inhibitor from

the successful bidder shall use the one-drum water treatment approach. In addition, the

independent analysis performed by Silver State also reaffirms this conceni.

Response:

There is no mention in the RFP 10 a one-drum inhibitor under Section S.A. Only under Section

5.13 "Dispersant - Liquid:" does the REP call for a "one drum water treatment approach" and this

would only apply to a "Dispersant" and not to the entire water treatment program. Multiple

drums are needed to complete the rcquirements of section 5 with the combination of several

chemistries that combine in the tower water (Open System) to meet the goals of the water

treatment program (Scale inhibitors, corrosion inhibitors, biocides, etc.)

The Silver State Laboratory initial review stated "3D1 26$ would be sufficient" with the blends

of different phosphonate inhibitors for both threshold level scale and ferrous corrosion inhibition.

Also1 to comply with the one drum requirement for dispersants. Nalco inhibitors have dispersant

as part of the chemkal makeup and contain the constituents to provide the necessary

functionalities that are set forth by the RIP to protect the county assets and maintain system efficiencies. As Silver State confirms, Molybdenum is not necessary in open system water

treatment to perform the functionalitics set forth and is considered to be against best practice in

open system water treatment due to environmental concerns. Using Nalco 3DT 265 would

provide all performance lunctionalities set forth and eliminate environmental concerns that discharging a heavy metal like Molybdenum could potentially cause. This highlights Nalco's compliance with Section l.0 and improves the chemical water treatment program from the

current program that the incumbent is currently using.

Nalco Trac 101 and Nalco C-47 10 are both nitrite base products for the use in closed loop applications and the specification in 6.A. I calls for molybdenum and clearly stales the "product

should be free of all glycols and nitrites".

Response: - Operating under the requirements of Section I.C, Nalco has offered recommendations for improving the closed loop chemical water treatment program with the emphasis on mild steel

corrosion inhibition while focusing on a more environmentali friendly approach. Nitrite will

only improve the corrosion inhibition performance expectations ofo.5 mils/year or less

corrosion on iron and 0.1 mils/year or less corrosion on copper in closed loops functionality if

nitrite is fed with molybdenum, azole and polymer.

In section 6.A.2 the county specifies that closed loop product should also be compatible with glycols; despite saying it should be free of them in 6.A.I. As Silver State noted, if it is

required to duplicate the incumbents program with .a less environmentally friendly

recommendation, Nalco has alternatives that can be provided at the same cost to the county. For alIclosed loop systems, the Nalco Trac 101 product will meet and exceed performance

specifications set forth by the county as it contains the constituents requested by the county with industry wide tvcognition for corrosion inhibition performance.

The report completed by Silver State Laboratories that was performed for the County to ensure the Nalco products fleet your specifications was not acknowledged by anyone from Silver Stale. Both comments from Section 5 and 6 confirm our findings with theirs that the Nalco products are not meeting your specifications.

6630W Asby Ave Suite 107 Las Vegas. MV 69118 An Ecotab Company

Response:

As Silver State noted in their 3d party review, every company has their own proprietary blend

of chemicals designed to obtain the desired performance restults, and although not identical to

the incumbents, the products that Nalco has proposed will meet or exceed the outcome

requirements. In our submittal, we have provided treatment programs that will meet and

exceed the guidelines set forth by the REP at a more competitive price than the incumbent.

Overall our programs help improve operations, reduce environmental impact and provide the

highest level of system protection available on the market today. This highlights Nalco's

ongoing effort to meet and exceed requested performance standards set forth, exemplifying

compliance with Section I .0 while maintaining the 'highest standard in the industry" during

the bid process and for the next 5 years.

'l'hank you for your time and consideration; we look forward to a successful partnership with

Citk County for years to come. Please do not hcsitate to reach out with any questions or

corcems you may have.

Non Oxidizing biocide: Nalco 7330

Nalco 7330 is an isothiazolin based product that can be treated for bacteria protection.

As slated in the Nalco response, there is no mention in the RFP to a onedrun, inhibitor under Section 5.A. Only under Section 5.8 "Dispersant - Liquid:" does the RFP call for a "one drum

water treatment approach" and this wotild only apply to a "Dispersant" and not to the entire water

treatment program. Multiple drums are needed to cOmplete the requirements of sectionS with the

combination of several clieniislries that combine in the tower water (Open System) to meet the

goals of the water treatment program (Scale inhibitors, corrosion inhibitors, biocides, etc.)

The Silver State Laboratory stated "3DT 265 would be sufficient" with the blends of different

phosphonate inhibitors for both threshold level scale and ferrous corrosion inhibition. As Silver

Stale confirms, Molybdentiin is not necessary in open system water treatment to perform the

Itinetionalities set forth and is considered to be against best practice in open system water

Subject; Review of Nalco submittal of January 26, 2015 (Bid 603447-14)

Dear Ms Garcia:

After reviewing the submittal of January 26, 2015 from Nalco and the associated MSDS, I understand that Nalco was asked to duplicate the incumbent's chemistry.

The MSDS provide safety guidelines for chemicals that are considered hazardous. in Section 2: Composition/information on Ingredients, it will not usually list the complete formulation; only the ingredients considered hazardous. The FVISDS provides information on hazard identification, storagc and handling, first aid, exposure control and proper personal protection equipment (PPE) etc. It also provides information on spill control and clean-up.

The closed water system treatment, as outlined by Nalco in this submittal, would duplicate the incumbent's chemistry. The inhibitor containing molybdenum, polymer and azole is duplicated in Nalco's Multiguard3760 product. The polymer in the product is the dispersant and would not need to be added separately. The non-oxidizing biocide, Nalco 7330, will inhibit biological growth.

The tower water treatment open system, as outlined, will meet the incumbent's chemistry by adding Nalco 7357 product to the Nalco 3DT 265 product. Nalco 7357 contains only a solution olmolybdenum. The biocides, both oxidizing and non-oxidizing, will inhibit biological growth.

I Z6üld like to address the specificaiion of no nitrite. I want to clarify. the difference between nitrite and nitrate. Section 6.A.1 specifies "Product should be free of all glycols and nitrite" (NO2-) which is a different compound then nitrate (NO3-). Nalco 7330 has a Magnesium Nitrate (NO3-) and therefore meets the spec of nitrite (NO2-) free.

RE: BID NO. 503447-14; ANNUAL REQUIREMENTS CONTRACT FOR WATER TREATMENT PROGRAM — PROTEST RESPONSE

Mr. Aspelund,

Clark County Department of Administrative Services. Purchasing and Contracts Division (Clark County) has reviewed the protest submitted by your finn on December 10, 2014 and provided your concerns to Nalco Company (Nalco) and Silver State Analytical Laboratories (Silver State) for their review and response. The following responses are offered:

S Protest Point No. 1 - 'Two chemicals are needed to be mixed to meet specifications (31) Trasar 30T 265 and 3D Trasar 30T 701). Section 5. Tower Treatment Open System Section A & B state that the inhibitor from the successful bidder shall use the one-drum water treatment approach. In addition, the Independent analysis performed by Silver State also reaffirms this concern.'

Response No. 1 - International CHEMTEX Corporation's (CHEMTEX) protest letter was forwarded to both Nalco and Silver State Analytical Laboratories for their review. See the response provided by Nalco dated December 19, 2015 and the response provided by Silver State dated December IS, 2014. Clark County determined that the products and processes provided by Nalco as part of their supplemental documents were meant to be advancements in the industry that they believed exceeded the specifications listed in the bid. Clark County requested that Nalco provIde the required MSDS sheets to support the chemical compositions and processes listed in the specificatIon. See response and MSDS sheets provided by Nalco dated January 26, 2015 and Silver State's review and response of that submittal dated February 11, 2015.

Protest Point No. 2 - Nalco Trasar Ti-ac 101 and Nalco C-4710 are both nitrite based product for the use in closed loop applications and the specification in section 6.A.1 calls for molybdenum and clearly states the 'Product should be free of all glycols and nitrites'.

Bid 603447-14; Annual Requirements Contract for Water Treatment Program

ServiceSpecifications pages Revised IV-1 and lV-2

2. MONTHLY UNIT PRICING:

Monthly Unit Pricing for each facility listed in the Bid Form shall include:

Paragraph C requires, "SUCCESS BIDOER shall perform monthly water samplings at all sites, with

the exception of Laughlin and Spring Mountain Youth Camp. These sites shall be per visit as

needed bases, as these sites are small closed loop systems" - Chemtex's water treatment

program dated 10/17/14 and submitted with their bid makes no mention of monthly water

sampling.

Paragraph D requires, "Inspection of each chemical feed station and adjusting feed rate to

maintain chemicals at optimum levels per location for various applications." - Chemtex's water

treatment program dated 10/17/14 and submitted with their bid, states only 'visually inspect

system and note any abnormal conditions", due to the vagueness of this description, Clark

County cannot assume vendor intends to meet the required specifications.

Paragraph E requires, "Testing and Delivery of chemicals shall be once per month." Chemtex's

water treatment program dated 10/17/14 and submitted with their bid; states only "Re-supply

chemical treatment products as needed." County cannot determine delivery frequency from this

siatement.

3. PROGRAM CONTROL SYSTEM

Paragraph B requires, "Manual controllers shall be monitored as needed but no less than

weekly." Chemtex' s water treatment program dated 10/17/14 and submitted with their bid

states, Weekly scheduled on-site preventative service calls", due to the vagueness of this

description, Clark County cannot assume vendor intends to meet the required specifications.

These are the portions of the specifications that Operations was able to identify in house as to being

different from the bid specifications. Further analysis of the chemicals offered will require evaluation by

the third party chemist. However, Operations believes the items listed above are enough of a deviation

to the specifications to warrant rejection.

Re: Bid No. 603447-14 Annual R&iuirements Contract for Water Treatment Program-Protest Response-Appeal

To Whom It May Concern,

International Chemtex is appealing the Protest Response from Clark County Purchasing.

The closed loop inhibitors that Nalco submitted for approval in the initial bid documents were Trasar Trac 101 and Nalco C 4710. These products contain nitrite. In the bid specification, section 6.A. I., it is clearly stated that products should be free of glycol and nitrites. Therefore the products initially submitted for approval did not meet the bid specification and should have been rejected.

If nitrites are used by the County! have attached documentation that molybdate are the preferred chemical used in closed loops due the biological fouling and health concerns. This is why the County has requested molybdates.

In a letter dated January 26, 2015, Nalco submitted a new product for approval that was not included in the initial bid. Although Multiguard 3760 meets the specifications required by the County, this product was not included with the original documents in the sealed bid process. We believe this violation of the bid process should be carefully deliberated.

In addition to the closed loop inhibitor substitution, Nalco is proposing to mix a new chemical the Trasar 3DT 265 and Nalco 7357 in order to comply with the cooling tower treatment specifications. Section 5, Tower Treatment Open Systems Section A & B, of the bid specification clearly states that the inhibitor from the successful bidder shall use the one-drum approach. Again, the Nalco program does not appear to meet the initial bid specifications required by the County.

In the original seal bid process Attachment 5 section 5-1 and 5-2 neither Multiguard 3760 or Nalco 7357 were submitted.

Therefore we feel it is necessary to appeal the protest response that would allow Nalco to substitute products that were not included in the initial bid submittal.

am happy to provide additional information to support this appeal to the protest response if necessary.

Respectftil ly,

Subject: Bid No. 603447-14 Annual Requirements Contract for Water Treatment Program Protest

Dear Ms Garcia;

Following are our comments concerning the Protest by Chemtex that was forwarded to Silver State Analytical Laboratories. -.

1. Two chemicals are needed to be mixed to meet specifications (31) TRASAR 3DT265 and 3D Trasar 3DT 701). Section 5 Tower Treatment Open System Section A & B state that the inhibitor.frorn the successful bidder shall use the one-drum water treatment approach. In addition, the independent analysis performed by Silver State also reaffirmed this concerli.

Comments: We did not confirm that the delivery system would use more than one-drum. It was not in our scope of work. We confirmed if you absolutely had to have Molybdenum in the system, then more than one product would need to be used. For all we kijow they would blend for a one-drum delivery or add it by two-drum or maybe a more sophisticated method. There are equivalent options for delivery. Also, we concluded that the 3D TRASAR 3DT265 could handle the mild steel éorrosion issue which molybdenum does without the use of molybdenum and inhibit threshold scale build up and copper corrosion as well.

2. Nalco Trasar Trac 101 and Nalco C-4710 are both nitrite based product for the use in closed ioop applications and the specification in section 6.A.1 calls for molybdenum and clearly states the "product should be free of all glycols and nitrites."

Comments: 1 uscom1nefltiseofftforifrftbased a1 If the emphasis is on inhibiting mild steel corrosion and not so much On what chemical isemployed to do so, Nalco does have alternatives that are not nitrite based.

3. The report done by Silver State Aflalytiêai laboratories that was performed for the County to ensure the Nalco. products meet your specifications was not acknowledged by anyone from Silver State. Both comments from Section 5 and 6 confirm our findings With theirs that the Nalco products are not meeting your specifications.

Comments: The report was acknowledged in the cover letter sent with the report. We acknowledged that the "Nalco products will meet or exceed the outcome requirements, control of biological growth and inhibit metal corrosion, with the appropriate blend of additives." That is to say, the specification that cori-ãsion and scale be inhibited and biologicaj growth be controlled, is met by Nalco products. The exact formulation and blends will vary from company to company. Each company has their own proprietary blends to be "better and/or improved" thôbthe next. That is normal competition and progress.

The bid did state in Section iC. "SUCCESSFIJL BIDDER shall offer recommendations for improving the chemical water treatment product or equipment operation." We interpreted that phase to mean that the inhibitor chemicals specified were a baseline for filnctionaiity, i.e. Molybdenum for build stel corrosion, phosphonate to inhibit threshold scale build up, etc. There are many chemicals that will do the same thing and the number of options will probably increase as research in corrosion inhibition cdntinues.

I hope this answers any question you may have. Plese do not hesitate to contact me with any questions or comments either by e-mail- or phone, (702-873-4478).

Subject: Bid 603447-14 Annual Requirements Contract for Water Treatment, Protest Response

Dear Ms. Garcia1

Please see the comments below concerning the protest that was issued by Chemtex upon the notification

that Nalco was given the notice of intent to award the water treatment contact.

1.) Two chemicals are needed to be mixed to meet specifications (313 Trasar 3DT265 and 3DTrasar

3DT 701). Section S. Tower Treatment Open System Section A & B state that the inhibitor from

the successful bidder shall use the one-drum water treatment approach. In addition, the

independent analysis performed by Silver State also reaffirfns this concern.

Response:

There is no mention in the RN' to a one-drum inhibitor under Section S.A. Only under Section

5.8 "Dispersant - Liquid:" does the RN' call for a "one drum water treatment approach" and this

would only apply to a "Dispersant" and not to the entire water treatment program. Multiple drums are needed to complete the requirements of section 5 with the combination of several chemistries that combine in the tower water (Open System) to meet the goals of the water

treatment program (Scale inhibitors, corrosion inhibitors, biocides, etc.)

The Silver State Laboratory initial review stated "3DT 265 would be sufficient" with the blends of different phosphonate inhibitors for both threshold level scale and ferrous corrosion irthibition.

Also, to comply with the one drum requirement for dispersants, Nalco inhibitors have dispersant as part of the chemical makeup and contain the constituents to provide the necessary

Response:

Operating under the requirements of Section I .C, Nalco has offered rEcommendations for

improving the closed loop chemical water treatment program with the emphasis on mild steel

cOrrosion inhibition while focusing on a more environmentally friendly approach. Nitrite will

only improve the corrosion inhibition performance expectations of 0.5 milslyear or less

corrosion on iron and 0.1 milsiycar or less corrosion on copper in closed loops functionality if

nitrite is fed with molybdenum, azole and polymer.

In section 6.A.2 the county specifies that closed loop product should also be compatible with

glycols; despite saying it should be free of them in 6.A. 1. As Silver State noted, if it is

required to duplicate the incumbents program witha less environmentally friendly

recommendation, Nalco has alternatives that can be provided at the same cost to the county.

For all closed loop systems, the Nalco Trac 101 product will meet and exceed performance

specifications set forth by the county as it contains the constituents requested by the county

with industry wide recognition for corrosion inhibition performance.

The report completed by Silver State Laboratories that was performed for the County to ensure

the Nalco products meet your specifications was not acknowledged by anyone from Silver State.

Both comments from Section 5 and 6 confirm our findings with theirs that the Nalco products are not meeting your specifications.

treatment to perform the flinctionalities set forth and is considered to be against best practice in • open system water treatment due to environmental concerns. Using Nalco 3DT 265 would

provide all performance flinctionalities set forth and eliminate environmental concerns that • discharging a heavy metal like Molybdenum could potentially cause. This highligbts Nakio's

Response;

As Silver State noted in their 3 party review, every company has their own proprietary blend

of chemicals designed to obtain the desired performance results, and although not identical to

the incumbents, the products that Nalco has proposed will meet or exceed the outcome

requirements. In our submittal, we have provided treamient programs that will meet and

exceed the guidelines set forth by the RIP at a more competitive price than the incumbent.

Overall our programs help improve operations, reduce environmental impact and provide the

highest level of system protection available on the market today. This highlights Nalco's

ongoing effort to meet and exceed requested performance standards set forth, exernpli&ing

compliance with Section I .0 while maintaining the "highest standard in the industry" during

the bid process and for the next 5 years.

Thank you for your time and consideration; we look forward to a suceessftil partnership with

Clark County for years to come. Please do not hesitate to reach out with any questions or concerns you may have.

treatment program. Multiple drums are needed to complete the requirements of section 5 with the combination of several chemistries that combine in the tower water (Open System) to meet the goals of the water treatment program (Scale inhibitors, corrosion inhibitors, biocides, etc.)

The Silver State Laboratory stated "3DT 265 would be sufficient" with the blends of different

phosphonate inhibitors for both threshold level scale and ferrous corrosion inhibition. As Silver

State confirms, Molybdenum is not necessary in open system water treatment to perform the

fw,ctionalities set forth and is considered to be against best practice in open system water

treatment due to environmental concerns. Using Nalco 3DT 265 would provide all performance

flinctionalities set forth and eliminate environmental concerns that discharging a heavy metal like

Molybdenum could potentially cause. This highlights Nalco's compliance with Section l.0 and

improves the chemical water treatment program from the current program that the incumbent is currently using.

As Silver State noted in their 3d party review, every company has their own proprietary blend of

chemicals designed to obtain the desired performance results, and although not identical to the

incumbents, the products that Nalco has proposed will.meet or exceed the outcome requirements.

En our submittal, we have provided treatment programs that will meet and exceed the guidelines

set forth by the RFPat a more competitive price than the incumbent. Overall our programs help

improve operations, reduce environmental impact and provide the highest level of system

protection available on the market today. This highlights Nalco's ongoing effort to meet and

exceed requested performance standards set forth, exempliing compliance with Section I .0

while maintaining the "highest standard in the industry" during the bid process and for the next 5

years.

Thank you for your time and consideration; I hope this helps to demonstrates Nalco's willingness

to cater to any and all of Clark County's requests going forward. We are looking forward to a

successful parthership with Clark County for years to come. Please do not hesitate to reach out with any questions or concerns you may have.

Refer to the PAC 3D CPP presection for a non-oxidizing program selection guide. Do not use oxidizing biocides with this program.

Do not overfeed this product or precipitation problems may result.

PRODUCT FEEDING AND PROGRAM COMPATIBILrrY

TRASAR TRAC101 should be fed via a closed feed system. A dosed feed system is defined as a system in which fluid is moved from a closed storage vessel into a treated media without exposure to the atmosphere except through normal venting or pressure relief devices.

TRASAR TRAC101 should be fed neat. Do not mix with other chemicals unless otherwise noted. Unstable reactions may occur that can deteriorate the effectiveness of the product.

TRASAR TRAC101 is compatible with glycol anti-freezes; however, since TRASAR TRAC101 contains no buffer, degradation of glycol to organic acids may cause a pH reduction that can result in loss of corrosion protection. If you are using TRASAR TRACIOI in a glycol containing system, check the pH periodically to ensure that the system p1-I stays above 8.0. Lowering of the system pH could indicate that the glycol is degrading.

Tip: An automotive anti-freeze hydrometer can be use for simple quick checks of ethylene and propylene glycol. Available at automotive supply stores. If greater accuracy is required a laboratory grade hydrometer should be used.

TRASAR TRAC101 is not compatible with chromate, cationic biocides, or oxidizing biocides. Using TRASAR TRAC 101 with any of these materials will result in the loss of the corrosion inhibitor program.

TRASAR TRACIOI is not compatible with and should not be used in sodium chloride, calcium chloride or lithium bromide brine systems.

ROl CRITICAL SUCCESS FACTORS

The ROI can be expressed in terms of what dollar savings the customer experiences by avoiding costly down time (labor and equipment) due to corrosion failures of the closed loop system. In some applications, even one hour of system downtime can represent a loss of hundreds of thousands of dollars. Having a cooling water corrosion treatment program they can rely on represents significant operational cost reduction.

WATER TREATMENT FOR CLOSED HEATING & COOLING SYSTEMS

Closed recirculating systems are used in a variety of industrial and commercial situations. The most com.monly used are found in refrigeration and air-conditioning systems where chilled water is circulated from the chiller to the air handling equipment. Another common system would be the hot water system.

A system is considered "closed" if it does not employ open evaporation for cooling and has a water loss of less than 5% of the circulating rate. In terms of water treatment these systems required little maintenance, because once charged with chemicals, they normally remain charged. Closed system treatment programs differ from those of open recirculating systems in that they are primarily concerned with corrosion with less emphasis placed on deposit formation and microbiological growth.

CORROSION The objectives of a closed system water treatment program are to minimize corrosion, prevent metal loss and prevent the formation of corrosion by-products. The less makeup a system requires, the more attainable are these goals. Once the corrosion inhibitor is added, it will theoretically passivate the metal surface and remain in the system protecting it against future attack.

Although it might initially appear that the rapid depletion of corrosive dissolved oxygen would render chemical treatment of a closed system unnecessary, closer examination reveals that these systems are rarely oxygen free - the result of constant oxygen leakage through valves, pipe joints, and pump packing.

In addition to that caused by the presence of the dissolved gases, closed systems are often constructed of a variety of dissimilar metals which result in galvanic corrosion.

The corrosion inhibitors most commonly used are nitrites and molybdenum. As in the case of cooling water, chromates have been discontinued for environmental reasons. Many..industry experts,prefer molybdenum as it. is less.subject to-

iological fouli Typical industry standards would target 500-1200 ppm nitrite and 80-120 ppm. Molybdenum. In either case the addition of preventive biocides improves a program.

DEPOSITION Mineral salt deposition is usually not a primary consideration in closed systems because the makeup water requirements are generally low and no evaporation or concentration of the recirculating water occurs. In most instances, scaling becomes a problem when the system continually suffers excessive water losses and a water supply containing high hardness levels is used as a makeup source. Hot water systems are more likely to scale than chilled water systems.

In systems where deposition is a problem, the severity is complicated by the fact that the closed system has no blowdown and consequently deposits are not removed once they have formed. They remain in the system and either cause erosion-corrosion by contributing to abrasion of pump impellers and seals or settle in low velocity areas blocking lines or fouling heat transfer surfaces. Accumulated deposits increase corrosion by accelerating under-deposit corrosion attack.

Under certain circumstances, inhibitors as phosphonates and polymers may be used to control a marginal scaling condition. If a closed system is fouled by particulate it is advisable to circulate iron cleaners combined with filtration and purge the system. Subsequent treatment with corrosion inhibitor is recommended.

MICROORGANISMS Although extensive microbiological growth is not usually encountered in a closed recirculating system, its presence can adversely affect a corrosion control program. Biological growth can impede effective heat transfer and cause blockage. Microbial under deposit corrosion can create intense localized pitting and corrosion resulting in leaks. This is particularly costly if it occurs on evaporator tubes. Routine addition of biocides is the best preventive method available, however fouled systems should be chemically cleaned, filtered and/or purged, and retreated.

Nitrate and nitrite poisoning in livestock Dr Sarah Robson

Regional Animal Health Leader, Animal & Plant Biosecurity, Wagga Wagga

What is nitrate/nitrite poisoning?

During periods of drought, the amount of nitrate in the soil can Increase greatty because of:

a lack of leaching;

reduced nitrate uptake by plants;

decomposition of organic mailer.

When a drought breaks, nitrate uptake by plants may be high, especially in the first week after rain. If hungry animals are allowed free access to such plants, stock losses from nitrate/nitrite poisoning may be disastrous.

Nitrates and nitrites are dosety linked as causes of poisoning. Nitrate is not always toxic to animals. When feed containing nitrate is eaten by ruminant animals, nitrate is converted to nitrite, and then to ammonia, by rumen microbes. Non-ruminant animals are unable to do this.

RUMINANT:

Nitrite from feed

Nitrate from feed -3 nitrite -3 ammonia

micro blat protein

NON-RuMINANT:

Nitrite from reed " Nitrate from feed *-4 nitrite -94-4 ammonia

Nitrates have a direct, caustic effect on the lining of the gut if consumed in large quantities. Signs of poisoning include diarthoea, salivation and abdominal pain.

Nitrites are much more toxic. These are formed from nitrates during ruminant digestion and may also occur if stored plant materials heat up or are attacked by bacteria or fungi. When high levels of nitrites accumulate in the gastrointestinal tract, they are absorbed into the bloodstream. Nitrite in the bloodstream changes haemoglobin (the oxygen-carrying part of blood) to methaemoglobin (which cannot carry oxygen). If enough methaemoglobin is produced, the animal Will die. Some animals can tolerate up to 50% conversion of their haemoglobin without ill-effects; however, when more than 80% haemoglobin is converted, death occurs.

Sources of poisons

Plants

Nitrogen Is considered the plant nutrient most widely deficient in the world's soils. Various agricultural practices have therefore been developed to increase its concentration in the soil. These practices include incorporating legume varieties in pasture and applying various nitrogen-rich fertilisers (urea, sulfate of ammonia, blood and bone) to crops. Such practices sometimes cause plants grown in these soils to have nitrate levels above safe limits, resulting in livestock poisonings.

Certain weeds, various root crops, cereal hays, and even immature cereal crops can also cause these poisonings. More than 80 specific plants are knowii to cause nitrate/nitrite poisoning. Some of these plants are listed in Table 1 on the next page.

Plant factors

Under certain soil and environment conditions, plants can contain high levels of nitrates

Factors that facilitate uptake or nitrate by plants include:

- use of nitrogen-containing fertilisers;

- low soil sulfur and molybdenum;

areas where stock have congregated and urinated/defaecated (e.g. yards).

Silage contains less nitrate than its parent crop due to the fermentation process that it undergoes. Forages high in nitrate can lose 480/6-80% of their nitrate content during fermentation.

Factors which cause nitrate to accumulate in the plant include:

drought;

cloudy or cold weathec

herbidde application - especially phenoxy herbicides such as 24-0:

wilting.

The amount of nitrate in plant tissues also depends on:

plant species;

stage of maturity:

part of the plant.

Nitrate concentrations are usually higher in young plants and decrease as plants mature. Most of the plant nitrate is also located in the bottom third of the stalk, hence the leaves contain less nitrate and the flowers or grain contain little to no nitrate.

Hay and silage

Hays made from cereal crops. especially those grown under drought conditions and cut while sappy', can develop toxic nitrite levels when they

heat up, Caten hay is particularly risky and becomes poisonous if previously dry hay is dampened by rain or snow some time before feeding out.

Hays made from nitrate-rich materials contain almost as much nitrate as when first made, unless some is converted to nitrite by heating or mould.

Water

Water can contain toxic levels of nitrates. High-risk sources include:

- water from deep wells fed by soil water from highly fertile soils;

condensed water from ventilating shafts in piggeries where there are high ammonia levels in the air,

fluids draining from silos containing materials rich in nitrates.

Water contaminated by fertiliser, animal wastes or decaying organic matter may also be a source of toxic levels of nitrate. Marginally toxic levels of nitrate in water, combined with marginally toxic levels of nitrate in feed, can also lead to poisoning.

Animal susceptibility

Species

There is considerable variation between species in their susceptibility to nitrite poisoning. Pigs are the most susceptible then, in order, cattle, sheep, and horses.

Nonguminants, such as horses and pigs, have no mechanism for converting nitrate to nitrite in their digestive tracts, so they are not susceptible to nitrite poisoning from excessive intake of nitrates. However, they are highly susceptible to poisoning from nitrite intake (for instance in mouldy hay) because they cannot convert the nitrite to ammonia.

Sheep are more efficient at converting nitrite to ammonia, so this may be the reason why they are less susceptible to nitrite poisoning than cattle.

Hungry stock

Hungry stock are at far greater risk than animals receiving regular and good fodder. This is because hungry stock consume more toxic feed, and, in the case of ruminants, their rumen microbes will not have had time to adapt to converting the nitrite to ammonia. For example, it takes about twice as much nitrate to kill a ruminant when the nitrate comes from forages that are eaten over a long period of time, compared to that which is consumed very quickly.

Ruminant animals receiving carbohydrate-rich fodders tolerate high nitrate and nitrite levels better than those that are not. This is because energy

pRIMEFAcT4,s, NITRATE AND NITRITE POISONING IN LivesTock 2

from carbohydrates (grain) helps rumen microbes convert nitrite to ammonia.

Animals that are stressed or in poor health or condition will also be more susceptible to nitratelnitñte poisoning.

Adaptation or acquaintance

Frequent intake of small amounts of high-nitrate feed increases the total amount of nitrate that can be consumed by ruminant animals without adverse effects. This is because rurnen microbes are adapted to deal with the increased nitrate content of the feed.

Signs of poisoning

Signs of nitrate poisoning are:

diarrhoea and vomiting;

- salivation;

abdominal pain.

Signs of nitrite poisoning usually appear 6-24 hours after the toxic material is consumed. These include:

rapid, noisy and difficult breathing:

blue/chocolate-coloured mucous membranes;

rapid pulse;

salivation, bloat! tremors, staggering:

dark, chocolate-coloured blood;

abortions - pregnant females that survive nitrate/nitrite poisoning may abort due to a lack of oxygen to the foetus: abortions usually occur 10-14 days after exposure to nitrates;

- weakness, coma, terminal convulsions, death.

Post-mortem findings

From nitrate poisoning:

severe reddening and stripping of the stomach and intestinal linings.

From nitrite poisoning:

dark red or coffee-brown blood that clots poorly;

pinpoint haemorrhages in internal organs and on internal surfaces;

accumulation of blood in the stomach wall.

Diagnosis

Diagnosis is based on:

observed clinical signs;

possible exposure to toxic plants, feeds or water,

post-mortem findings;

laboratory tests.

Treatment

Urgent veterinary attention is required to confirm the tentative diagnosis and to treat affected animals. Stock should immediately be removed from suspect material, and be handled as little and as quietly as possible. Hay or some other low-nitrate herbage should be fed to dilute the nitrate and/or nitrite in the stomach.

Affected animals can be treated by intravenous injections of methylene blue, a powdered dye material. Methylene blue converts the methaemoglobin back to oxygen-canying haemoglobin.

Note: Methylene blue is no longer approved by the Australian Pesticides and Veterinary Medicines Authority (APVMA) for use in food-producing animals.

This matter is under review. Contact your veterinarian for advice. If producers have an old supply of methylene blue on hand, they should consult their veterinarian before attempting to use it.

Prevention

The risk of poisoning can be reduced by:

having reeds and forages analysed for nitrate when in doubt, such as drought-stressed, small-grain forages:

not grazing stock on forages that are potentially dangerous;

observing stock frequently when put on potentially risky feed;

feeding hungry stock on dry hay or mature grass before allowing free access to immature cereal crops or root-crop tops;

feeding only well-dried cereal hays;

preventing hungry stock from gorging recently sprayed weeds;

preventing hungry stock from gorging highly fertilised crops;

not overstocking risky pastures! grazing crops - overstocking can result in more stalk material being consumed (the stalk contains the most nitrate in the plant). Avoid strip grazing for the same reason;

not grazing high-nitrate pastures or crops for 7 days after periods of rainfall, cloudy days, frosts, or high temperatures that cause wilting;

grazing stock on high-nitrate pastures or crops during sunny aftemoons (when the temperature is above 15°C) and removing them at night. This reduces the amount of high-nitrate forage consumed and helps nimen microbes to adapt:

prnuErAcTals, NITRATE AND NITRItE POISONING IN LIVEsTOCK 3

preventing access to high-risk weeds around yards/sheds:

- feeding risky material in small amounts diluted with safe feed, preferably high-carbohydrate feed such as grain (if accustomed to grain feeding), and gradually increasing the amount fed - this applies only to ruminants;

- ensuring that water does not contain high levels of nitrates;

not feeding green thop that has heated afler cutting;

never feeding mouldy hay.

Another option for reducing the risk of nitrate/nitrite poisoning is to harvest and feed high-nitrate forages as silage. This is because nitrate levels are reduced by the fermentation process when feed is ensued. Harvest these feed crops at least 7 days after rain or cloudy weather, preferably later in the day.

Harvesting close to maturity is also advised to reduce the risk of nitrate toxicity (although this means reduced digestibility of the feed).

Raising the cutter head to selectively avoid stalk bases is another method of reducing the risk of poisoning.
