RE: Bid for Liquid Oxygen for Water Filtration Plant- 2013-2015
BACKGROUND
This is a three-year bid (2013-2015) for liquid oxygen used at our Water Filtration Plant.
Liquid oxygen is used in the production of ozone as a drinking water disinfectant in the
water treatment process. The City of Oshkosh has worked with the City of Green Bay
Water Commission cooperatively on this joint bid since 2000. The Green Bay Water
Commission will award their requirements to the same vendor as the City of Oshkosh.
ANALYSIS
Working in conjunction with Water Filtration personnel, Purchasing reviewed and
prepared proposals seeking vendors for this chemical. Bids were received on October
22, 2012. The bid tab is attached. After comparing vendor unit prices based on projected
consumption, Purchasing and Water Filtration personnel concluded the low bid from Air
Gas met the minimum bid specifications.
FISCAL IMPACT
Based on the estimated usage of 500,000 gallons per year and Air Gas' bid the estimated
annual fiscal impact of the liquid oxygen is $172,650. Funding for liquid oxygen will be
charged to the Water Filtration Plant Operating Budget A/N#: 541-1810-1507-00000.
RECOMMENDATION
Purchasing recommends the Council award the three year (2013-2015) liquid oxygen bid
to Air Gas.
Respectfully Submitted, Approved:
