1. Contractor has not, nor has any other member, representative, or agent of the firm,

bidding. Contractor further says that no person or persons, firms, or corporation has, have
or will receive directly or indirectly, any rebate, fee, gift, commission or thing of value
on account of such sale; and
2. Contractor certifies by submission of this proposal that neither contractor nor any
of its principals are presently debarred, suspended, proposed for debarment, declared
ineligible, or voluntarily excluded from participation in this transaction by any Federal

3. Contractor has not, nor has any successor to, nor an affiliate of, Contractor, engaged in
investment activities in Iran.
a. For purposes of this Certification, "Iran" means the government of Iran and any
agency or instrumentality of Iran, or as otherwise defined at Ind. Code § 5-22-16.5-5,
as amended from time -to -time.
b. As provided by Ind. Code § 5-22-16.5-8, as amended from time -to -time, a Contractor
is engaged in investment activities in Iran if either:
i. Contractor, its successor or its affiliate, provides goods or services of twenty
million dollars ($20,000,000) or more in value in the energy sector of Iran;
or
ii. Contractor, its successor or its affiliate, is a financial institution that extends

4. Contractor does not knowingly employ or contract with an unauthorized alien, nor

and
5. Contractor shall require his/her/its subcontractors performing work under this
public contract to certify that the subcontractors do not knowingly employ or contract
with an unauthorized alien, nor retain any employee or contract with a person that the

enrolled in and is participating in the E-Verify Program. The Contractor agrees to
maintain this certification throughout the term of the contract with the City of South

notified by the City.
6. Persons, partnerships, corporations, associations, or joint venturers awarded a
contract by the City of South Bend through its agencies, boards, or commissions shall not
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
Contractor's good faith efforts to obtain participation by those Contractors certified by
the State of Indiana as a Minority Business ("MBE") or as a Women's Business
Enterprise ("WBE") as a factor in determining the lowest, responsible, responsive
bidder.
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
noncompliance pertains.
7. The undersigned contractor agrees that the following nondiscrimination
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.
Contractor agrees not to discriminate against or intimidate any employee or applicant for
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.

with six threaded fusible plugs, three in each head, spaced approximately 1200
apart.
a) In addition to the required period retest, it is recommended that each ton
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 173.31d).
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.
3. Container Records
a) Records must be kept showing results of the test. Each container must have the
test date plainly and permanently stamped into the metal of one head or the
chime of each task passing the hydrostatic retest.

11.1 Acute Toxicity
Irritating to skin and body tissues. There is no established acute toxicity for Sodium
Permanganate. It is logical to assume acute toxicity will be very similar if not identical to that of
potassium permanganate which is listed below.
Ingestion • LD 50 oral rat: 780 mg/kg male (14 days); 525 mg/kg female (14 days).
• Harmful if swallowed. ALD: 10g. Ingestion may cause nausea, vomiting,
sore throat, stomach-ache and eventually lead to a perforation of the
intestine. Liver and kidney injuries may occur.
Skin Contact •LD 50 dermal: no data available Major effects of exposure: severe
irritation, brown staining of skin.

[11 This product is designed to be used in conjunction with ion exchange resins for the
purpose of reducing radium from drinking water.
[2] This product is designed to be used off-line and flushed out prior to using the system
for drinking water, following manufacturers use instructions.
[31 The pH of the influent and effluent water should be monitored to ensure that all traces
of the product have been removed before placing into service.
[PO] The finished drinking water shall be monitored to ensure that levels of manganese
do not exceed 0.05 mg/L.
[ZN] Based on an evaluation of health effects data, the level of zinc in the finished drinking
water shall not exceed 2.0 mg/L.
