RE: Bid for Chemicals for Water Filtration/Wastewater Treatment Plants- 2014
BACKGROUND
This is the annual bid for operational treatment chemicals for the year 2014. 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 received on November 26,
2013. 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 tab met the minimum bid specifications. The City did not
receive any bids from liquid chlorine vendors, including our current provider, Hydrite Chemical
Company. However upon follow up, Hydrite confirmed they could supply our total chlorine
quantity of 130 tons and honor their 2013 rate of $600 per ton for a total estimated cost of
$78,000 shared between the Wastewater and. Water Treatment Plants. Given there were no other
bidders for this product and given that Hydrite has been the low or sole bidder for the last several
years, we feel it is in the city's best interest to award them the liquid chlorine bid.
FISCAL IMPACT
Based on the low bids, the estimated 2014 fiscal impact of these chemicals with their associated
operating budget accounts to be charged and recommended vendor award is as follows:
Chemical Est. Cost Account Number Recommended Award
Aluminum Sulfate WFP $525,657 541 -1810- 1507 -00000 General Chemical
