CONTRACT AMENDMENT: PURCHASE OF CARBON FILTER MEDIA FOR THE
GROUND WATER TREATMENT PLANT – F2M23-6B, C2M23-63, M2M26-39
On July 24, 2023, the City Council approved an award of contract to Calgon Carbon
Corporation for the purchase of Filter Media for the Ground Water Treatment Plant, in an
amount not to exceed $175,000.00 per year, with two additional one-year renewal options,
for a total amount not to exceed $525,000.00 over a three-year period (Contract No.

Permit Amendment 1910001PA-006, issued by the State Water Resources Control Board,
