H146--Provide Maintenance of Chlorine Dioxide Water Disinfection System |

The Department of Veterans Affairs is seeking a contractor to provide maintenance of a chlorine dioxide water disinfection system. The system is used for drinking water treatment and must meet certain regulations and guidelines. The contractor will be required to report on the use of biobased products and sustainable products, and must comply with EPA and USDA guidelines. The contractor must also obtain the necessary permits and approvals from the Alabama Department of Environmental Management (ADEM) before installing or operating the system. Some key points to consider include: • The system must be permitted by ADEM if serving over 25 users. • Changing from one ClO₂ system to another requires a new permit. • Departmental approval is required before using chlorine dioxide as a disinfectant. • Permit modification is required when changing the primary disinfectant. • Supplemental chlorine dioxide systems are regulated by ADEM.
