amended from time -to -time.
b. As provided by Ind. Code § 5-22-16.5-8, as amended from time -to -time, a Contractor

discriminate against any employee or applicant for employment in the performance of a
City contract with respect to hire, tenure, terms, conditions, or privileges of employment,
or any matter directly or indirectly related to employment because of race, sex, religion,
color, national origin, ancestry, age, gender expression, gender identity, sexual orientation
or disability that does not affect that person's ability to perform the work.
In awarding contracts for the purchase of work, labor, services, supplies, equipment,
materials, or any combination of the foregoing including, but not limited to, public works
contracts awarded under public bidding laws or other contracts in which public bids are
not required by law, the City, its agencies, boards, or commissions may consider the

In no event shall persons or entities seeking the award of a City contract be required to
award a subcontract to an MBE/WBE; however, it may not unlawfully discriminate against
said WBE/MBE. A finding of a discriminatory practice by the City's MBE/WBE
Utilization Board shall prohibit that person or entity from being awarded a City contract
for a period of one (1) year from the date of such determination, and such determination
may also be grounds for terminating the contact for which the discriminatory practice or

commitment shall be made a part of any contract which it may henceforth enter into with
the City of South Bend, Indiana or any of its agencies, boards or commissions.

employment in the performance of this contract with privileges of employment, or any
matter directly or indirectly related to employment, because of race, religion, color, sex,
gender expression, gender identity, sexual orientation, handicap, national origin or
ancestry. Breach of this provision may be regarded as material breach of contract.
I, the undersigned bidder or agent as contractor on a public works project, understand my
statutory obligations to the use of steel products or foundry products made in the United
States (I.C. 5-16-8-1). I hereby certify that I and all subcontractors employed by me for
this project will use steel products or foundry products made in the United States on this
project if awarded. I understand I have an affirmative duty to notify the City in my bid that
my proposal does not include the use of steel products or foundry products made in the
United States. I understand it is my sole obligation and responsibility to provide a
justification to the City, subject to review and approval, why the cost of United States made
steel or foundry products is unreasonable. Prior to award and upon submission of bid
which does not use steel products or foundry products made in the United States, the City,
through its director of public works, shall make a determination if the price of United States
made steel or foundry is unreasonable. I understand that violations hereunder may result
in forfeiture of contractual payments.
I hereby affirm under the penalties of perjury that the facts and information contained in the foregoing bid
for public works are true and correct.

8. Cylinder and Ton Container Capacity
a) In cases where the capacity of a chlorine container is not known, it can be
determined by weighing it empty and again when completely filled with water,
and by multiplying the weight of water at 60OF by 1.25. This is the maximum
allowable weight of chlorine allowed in the cylinder or ton container.
C. STAMPING
1. Cylinder Stamping
a) When manufactured, cylinders are stamped with DOT specification number,
serial number, and owners and/or builders identifying symbols as well as
inspector's official mark and initial test date [DOT Section 173.34(c)] of 49CFR.
2. Ton Container Stamping

container and cylinder be internally and externally inspected prior to each
filling. This includes all appurtenances, such as valves and fusible plugs.
Criteria for such inspection is outlined in "Cylinder and Ton container
Procedure for Chlorine Packaging, " Chlorine Institute Pamphlet 17, Sections 3,
4, and 5.
F. PERIODIC RETESTING AND RE -INSPECTION
1. Cylinder and Ton Containers to be Tested
a) Cylinders (except DOT 3E 1800) and ton containers must be retested at least
once in five years (DOT Section 173.34e and Section 173.31 d).
b) Cylinders cannot be filled until they are retested after the five year anniversary
of the month in which it was tested. Ton containers can be filled until the end of
the calendar year during which their five year test is due.
c) Retests are also required after any reheat treatment. In addition, retest any
container which shows evidence of weakness at any time, or show a 5 percent or
more loss in weight.
2. Test Procedure
a) Cylinders and ton containers are hydrostatically retested by the hydrostatic
expansion method [DOT Section 173.34 (a) and Section 173.31 (d)J. If at the
time of requalification a container shows a leak or a permanent expansion which
exceeds 10% of the total expansion, it must be condemned.

PRINCIPAL USES
CLARIFLOC CE-1463 is a high charge cationic po lyacry lam ide
that is used as a flocculant in a wide variety of municipal and
industrial wastewater treatment applications. It has been successfully
applied in all liquid/solids separation systems including clarification,
thickening, flotation, and dewatering.
TYPICAL PROPERTIES
Physical Form White Granular Powder
Cationicity 80 %
pH (0.25% Sol'n) 3-5
PREPARATION AND FEEDING
CLARIFLOC CE-1463 is water soluble, but certain
precautions should be followed to obtain total dissolution with
minimum loss of activity. Complete wetting of the individual
polymer particles is the single most important factor in the
preparation of powdered polymer solutions. One method to achieve
good wetting is to use an aspirator type disperser that draws the
solid polymer particles into the water stream using a vacuum
created by water pressure. A water pressure of 30 psig or greater is
required to implement this method. The wetted polymer from the
aspirator should be discharged into a vessel equipped with a high speed
mixer capable of stirring the entire tank. The polymer solution should
be stirred for 15-60 minutes or until dissolution is complete. The
suggested make -down concentration for CLARIFLOC CE-1463 is
0.1 - 0.5 % by weight. Completely automated equipment is
commercially available.
MATERL4LS OF CONSTRUCTION
Cross -linked polyethylene, fiberglass, stainless steel or lined steel are
the preferred materials for dissolution tanks. Unlined mild steel, black
iron, galvanized steel, copper or brass should not be used in any part
of the feed system. Stainless steel or PVC are recommended for pump
heads and feed lines.
MANUFACTURING SPECIFICATIONS
% Moisture < 8
UL Viscosity 2.6 - 3.2 cPs
% Insolubles < 2.0
HANDLING AND STORAGE
Suggested in -plant storage of CLARIFLOC CE-1463 is one year
in unopened bags. Store in a cool, dry area. For spills of dry
CLARIFLOC CE-1463, sweep up the material and reuse, if
possible. Do not spray water on spilled dry product because the
resulting gel is very slippery and difficult to clean up. For spills
of CLARIFLOC CE-1463 solutions, sprinkle sawdust or
vermiculite over the spill area and sweep into approved chemical
disposal containers. Rock salt cuts slipperi-ness.
SAFETY INFORMATION
CLARIFLOC CE-1463 can potentially irritate the skin, eyes and
lungs, so gloves, goggles and filter type respirator should be worn
while handling this product. CLARIFLOC CE-1463 is not readily
ignited, but it will support an existing fire. Foam, CO, or dry chemical
methods should be used because polymer -water mixtures are very
slippery. Anyone responsible for the procurement, use or
disposal of CLARIFLOC CE-1463 should familiarize
themselves with the appropriate safety and handling precautions
outlined in the POLYDYNE Material Safety Data Sheet. In the
event of an emergency with CLARIFLOC CE-1463, contact
Chemtrec anytime day or night at (800) 424-9300.
SHIPPING
CLARIFLOC CE-1463 is shipped in 55 pound bags and
supersacks. Bulk quantities are also available.
