Regarding the Bid for Sodium Hypochlorite at the MO River and Papio Plants. I believe that DPC is the
Best choice as supplier for Value and Service. Not only as an employee of DPC, but as an employee of a
Local company that has provided outstanding service to these two plants for over 12 years. Our
employees are local,we utilize additional local contract carriers for our normal business, although the
vast majority of deliveries to these plants are made with our own company trucks and tankers. DPC is
capable of Same Day deliveries and emergency deliveries to give confidence to the MO River and Papio
plants that product will always arrive on time so there is never a worry that Chlorination and disinfection
can take place. We utilize the local railroads to deliver our raw materials to DPC. We are Local Essential
workers, paying taxes and bringing up our children in the Omaha area. DPC contracts local companies to
service our plant, and mechanical and electric. Our trucks and trailers are service locally. Our earnings
are spent in Omaha and the surrounding areas. I have no doubt, DPC is the best choice for supplying
Sodium Hypochlorite to the MO River and Papio Plants.
While I certainly hope that we are the Low Bid, if we are not, DPC is still the Best Choice and Best Value
