RE: Approve Partial Rescission of Resolution 14-532 for 2015 Water Chemicals
BACKGROUND
At their December 9, 2014 meeting the Common Council approved resolution 14-532 to award
bids for various water chemicals used by our Water Filtration and Wastewater Treatment Plants
throughout the year.
ANALYSIS
Unfortunately the low bid vendor for the Sodium Hydroxide 30% portion of this bid (Rowell
Chemical Corp.) has now indicated they cannot provide this product. As such, we must rescind
their chemical award portion of the bid. Purchasing recommends the Sodium Hydroxide 30%
portion of this bid be awarded instead to the next lowest bidder- Hydrite Chemical Company at
.42/Ib. Both vendors have been contacted about this issue and will comply with this correction.
All other water chemical awards of this bid are unaffected. Attached is the revised bid tab
reflecting this change.
FISCAL IMPACT
The Sodium Hydroxide 30% is one of the annual water chemicals purchased out of the Water
Filtration Plant's A/N#: 541-1810-1507-00000. Staff anticipates an estimated 400,000 Ibs will be
used during 2015,which at.42/Ib may have a fiscal impact of$168,000.
RECOMMENDATION
Purchasing recommends the Common Council rescind the Sodium Hydroxide 30% award portion
of resolution 14-532 and award it to Hydrite Chemical Company.
Respectfully Submitted, Approved:
