1a. Dispensers

Dispensers will be required for some of the cleaning products, while for other products, it will be a desirable specification.  If none is stated, a dispenser is not desired by the County.

All dispensers for the cleaning products must be closed dilution-control system dispensers, which automatically dilute concentrated products using water directly from the water pipes and prevent the concentrated product from being accessed by users.
All dispensers will be provided to the County at no additional cost.

Most dispensers will be installed by the General Services Agency (GSA) Building Maintenance Building (BMD).  If installation is required by the vendor(s), this will be provided to the County at no additional cost.

1e. Samples

The bidders may be requested to furnish 5 gallon sized, in a ready-to-use dilution, sample of product(s) bid for examination by the County.  Any product(s) so requested shall be furnished within five (5) business days from the date of request and furnished at no cost to the County and sent to the GSA-Purchasing Department.
