Cost $1,163,007 $1,106,295 -4.8% i�1 The chemicals used by the utilities can vary depending on production cost, and raw material availability and market demands. As the figures above show there were some noteworthy bid price changes for various chemicals including liquid aluminum sulfate, sodium hydroxide, liquid ferric chloride and liquid polyelectrolyte. Taking into account the 2016 bid prices and barring any major changes in quantity usage we may realize an estimated 4.8% reduction in water chemical costs for the coming year. 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 Utility Manager Steve Brand or myself. Respectfully Submitted, � � Jon G.
