AVERAGE BULK DENSITY Coarse Crystal � 97 lb/ft3

Powder 55 lb/ft3 PRINCIPAL USES The relatively constant solubility rate of Sodium Fluoride makes it an ideal source for the fluoride ion in the treatment of municipal water supplies. The uniform solubility characteristic is extremely valuable in continuous, automatic, liquid feeding systems. Solvay Fluorides' Sodium Fluoride meets the standard set forth by the American Water Works Association, and is NSF (National Sanitary Foundation) standard 60 Certified. Sodium Fluoride is used as a flux in the manufacture of rimmed steel. When added to the molten metal, it increases deoxidization or degassing, thereby producing a more uniform ingot.





OTHER INDUSTRIAL USES Fungicides, Insecticides, Pesticides* Glass frosting Glues and Adhesives Magnesium fluxes Ore flotation Stainless steel pickling Toothpaste Vitreous enamels Wood preservatives * Solvay Fluorides does not maintain any State or Federal active pesticide ingredient registrations for sodium fluoride. HEALTH HAZARDS Sodium Fluoride is poisonous when taken internally. Dusts are very noxious and may cause sneezing and irritation of the nose and throat. Care should be taken to avoid accidental ingestion of the dusts. Dust�type respirators should be worn whenever substantial quantities are to be handled, particularly in dust-producing situations. Sodium Fluoride is irritating to the skin, especially in the presence of perspiration, and can be painful if allowed to enter open cuts or sores. Allergic reactions may develop under prolonged contact. Rubber or vinyl gloves should be worn when handling the material, and contact with the bare skin should be avoided.

Virginia 22630 (hereinafter referred to as the “Town”), and NAME OF FIRM, a state of

STATE Corporation, whose street address is FIRM ADDRESS, and whose mailing address is

SAME (hereinafter called the “Independent Contractor”).

W I T N E S S E T H:

That for and in consideration of the mutual promises contained herein, the Town agrees

to purchase, and the Independent Contractor agrees provide the following described services:

1. Place of Service Performance/Delivery:

PER IFB #22-2020 CHEMICALS

2. Time of Service Delivery: Normal working business hours for this project will be

New Year’s Day, Martin Luther King Day, President’s Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day,

Labor Day, Columbus Day, Veteran’s Day, Thanksgiving Day, Day after Thanksgiving,

Christmas Eve Day, and Christmas Day.

3. Term of Contract: This Contract shall be in effect beginning with the date of the

final signature on the contract and continuing (if not otherwise terminated pursuant to the terms

of this agreement) through twelve (12) months with the option of three (3) one-year renewals on

the anniversary date, if agreed to by both parties, for a maximum total contract period of four (4)

years, in accordance with the enclosed statement of needs and terms.

53

4. Payment:

a. The Town shall promptly pay the sum of (SUM) for the completed services or

delivered goods described in Attachment A by the required date. The required payment date

shall be either: (1) the date on which payment is due under the terms of the contract, or (2) if a

date is not established by the contract, not more than forty-five (45) days after goods or services

are received or not more than forty-five (45) days after an invoice is rendered, whichever is later.

Separate payment dates may be specified for contracts under which goods or services are

provided in a series of partial executions or deliveries to the extent that the contract provides for

separate payment for partial execution or delivery. Within twenty (20) days after the receipt of

an invoice for goods or services, the Town shall notify the supplier of any defect or impropriety

that would prevent payment by the required payment date. If the Town fails to make payment by

the required payment date, the Town shall pay any finance charges assess by the supplier that

shall not exceed one percent (1%) per month. Where payment is made by mail, the date of the

postmark shall be deemed to be the date the payment is made.

b. Individual Contractors shall provide their Social Security numbers, and

proprietorships, partnerships, and corporations shall provide the Town of Front Royal with a

Federal Employer Identification number, prior to receiving any payment from the Town.

c. Invoices for items ordered, delivered and accepted shall be submitted by the Independent Contractor directly to this payment address:

Town of Front Royal

Accounts Payable

P.O. Box 1560

Front Royal, VA 22630

All invoices shall show the applicable Purchase Order number.

d. The Independent Contractor shall monthly furnish an invoice to the Town for services

rendered that month. All goods or services provided under this contract or Purchase Order, that

are to be paid for with public funds, shall be billed by the Independent Contractor at the contract

54

price, regardless of which Town department is being billed.

e. Unreasonable Charges. Under certain emergency procurements and for most time

and material purchases, final job costs cannot be accurately determined at the time orders are

placed. In such cases, Independent Contractors should put on notice that final payment in full is

contingent on a determination of reasonableness with respect to all invoiced charges. Charges

which appear to be unreasonable will be researched and challenged, and that portion of the

invoice held in abeyance until a settlement can be reached. Upon determining that invoiced

charges are not reasonable, The Town shall promptly notify the Independent Contractor, in

writing, as to those charges which it considers unreasonable and the basis for the determination.

An Independent Contractor may not institute legal action unless a settlement cannot be reached

within thirty (30) days of notification. The provisions of this section do not relieve an agency of

its prompt payment obligations with respect to those charges which are not in dispute. (Code of

Virginia § 2.2-4363).

To Subcontractors:

a. An Independent Contractor awarded a contract under this solicitation is hereby

obligated:

(1) To pay the subcontractor(s) within seven (7) days of the Independent

Contractor’s receipt of payment from the Town for the proportionate share of the payment

received for work performed by the subcontractor(s) under the contract; or

(2) To notify the Town and the subcontractor(s), in writing, of the Independent

Contractor’s intention to withhold payment and the reason.

b. The Independent Contractor is obligated to pay the subcontractor(s) interest at the rate

of one percent (1%) per month (unless otherwise provided under the terms of the contract) on all

amounts owed by the Independent Contractor that remain unpaid seven (7) days following

receipt of payment from the Town, except for amounts withheld as stated in (2) above. The date

of mailing of any payment by U.S. Mail is deemed to be payment to the addressee. These

provisions apply to each sub-tier contractor performing under the primary contract. An

Independent Contractor’s obligation to pay an interest charge to a subcontractor cannot be

55

construed to be an obligation of the Town of Front Royal.

5. Reports: The Independent Contractor shall complete, maintain, and submit to the

Town all records and reports and lists of services rendered when such services are rendered.

6. Services Rendered: The Independent Contractor shall perform all services to be

for the normal operation of the Independent Contractor. The Independent Contractor agrees to

post in conspicuous places, available to employees and applicants for employment, notices

setting forth the provisions of this non-discrimination clause.

b. The Independent Contractor, in all solicitations or advertisements for employees

56

placed by or on behalf of the Independent Contractor, will state that the Independent Contractor

regulation shall be deemed sufficient for the purpose of meeting the requirements of this section.
