In addition, the various carbon the PGAC manufacturers felt the bid requirements to provide several different Report 90-85 carbons from different manufacturers could be interpreted as collusion. After reviewing purchasing options, it was decided the most feasible option would be to rebid for furnishing and installing of standard b i tumi nous carbon on 1 y . The bond i ng compan i es I concerns wou 1 d be eliminated because the spent carbon would be handled under a separate contract. Specifying a single standard bituminous carbon will eliminate joint bidding and the possibility of collusion. The new bid opening will be held April 23rd and should not delay the opening of the new water treatment facility. The bids will be presented for Council consideration at the April 24th meeting. Greg Keil, Barr Engineering, feels the carbon disposal is not of major concern because the material is not classified by Minnesota as hazardous waste.
