Bottled Water Requirements - 412

Bottled drinking water may be purchased under a department’s delegated purchasing authority where it has been determined that the building water supply does not meet standards set by the California Department of Public Health (CDPH) for state-owned facilities or local city, county environmental management department(s) for state leased facilities, or where DGS/RESD has determined that the cost of connecting a drinking fountain to the building water supply renders it impractical. Documentation from the CDPH and/or local city, county environmental management department(s), and/or DGS/RESD must be maintained in the procurement file.
