RE: Award Bid to Various Vendors for Chemicals for the Water Filtration/Wastewater
Treatment Plants for 2021 (Various Amounts)
BACKGROUND
This is the annual bid for operational treatment chemicals for the year 2021. The chemicals are for the
Water Filtration Plant (WFP) and the Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP).
ANALYSIS
Working in conjunction with Water Filtration and Wastewater staff, Purchasing reviewed and prepared
proposals seeking vendors for these chemicals. Bids were due on November 12, 2020. After comparing
vendor unit prices based on projected consumption, Purchasing and Water Filtration/Wastewater
Treatment Plant staff determined the low bids for total annual estimated costs on the attached bid tabs
met the minimum bid specifications.
FISCAL IMPACT
Based on the low bids, the estimated 2021 fiscal impact of these chemicals multiplied against their
estimated quantity with their associated 2021 operating budget accounts to be charged and
recommended vendor award is as follows:

The cost of the chemicals can vary annually depending upon on production cost, raw material availability
and market demands. The quantities of chemicals used by the utilities can vary annually depending on
water treatment needs. For 2021 our Sodium Hydroxide needed to be increased by 400,000 pounds for
pH adjustment due to changes in DNR regulatory requirements at our Water Filtration Plant. Based on
this requirement and other variables we anticipate an 8% increase in water chemical costs for 2021.
RECOMMENDATION
Purchasing recommends the Council award the chemical bids to vendors as indicated above and on the
attached bid tabs. If there are any questions on these bids please contact Public Works Director James
Rabe or myself.
Respectfully Submitted,
Approved:
Jon G. Urben, General Services Manager Mark A. Rohloff, City Manager
