2 in per pound prices. He gave the recommendation for each chemical purchase with the lowest bidder except for soda ash where the second lowest bidder was recommended as there has been problems with deliveries in previous years with the lowest bidder.

Hearing none, this item will be on the agenda for action at the April 16 meeting. 4. Contract for Fiscal 2019 Water Main Clamps Assistant Director Christy explained that the purchase of water main clamps had been under the manager s authority in the past. Due to inflation and the number of clamps used to repair water main breaks, it was necessary to go out to bid. The lowest bidder did not bid all products nor did they supply a bid bond. The second lowest bidder is recommended, Underground Pipe and Valve who has worked with the Village in the past. The Village is on track to spend approximately $25,000 on this year.
