The products that are selected for use in this contract should avoid physical and health hazards. Proposers are encouraged to use the chemical product material safety data sheets (MSDS) provided by manufacturers to make this determination. Acceptable products shall adhere to the following criteria and applies to all chemicals used for this contract: · Chemical constituents not listed as XXXX Title III, Section 313 chemicals; · Chemicals with less than 0.5 percent phosphorous-containing constituents; · Corrosivity (pH) greater than 2 and less than 12.5; · Flashpoint greater than 150 degrees F; · No carcinogenic, mutagenic, or teratogenic constituents; · Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) – All products shall meet the applicable National Volatile Organic Compound Emission Standards for Consumer Products as defined in the Code of Standards for Consumer Products as defined in the Code of Federal Regulations, 40 CFR Part 59, Subpart C, and Sections 201-214. The City maintains the right to request that proposers supply certification of compliance from the manufacturer. Information on the amount of VOCs contained in a product can be obtained from the product manufacturer and, in some cases, may be found under “Physical/Chemical Characteristics” (typically Section III) of the MSDS. All products must be delivered in a non-aerosol formulation such as ready-to-use pump action sprays, air-charged refillable containers, or concentrates that can be dispensed into spray bottles for use. Aerosol sprays typically emit more VOC’s and contribute to ozone air pollution.
