Bid for Liquid Oxygen for Water Filtration Plant- 2016-2018
BACKGROUND
This is a three-year bid (2016-2018) 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, 2015. 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 Liquide Industrial US LP met the
minimum bid specifications.
FISCAL IMPACT
Based on the same estimated usage of 500,000 gallons per year and Air Liquide Industrial US
LP's bid of 3223/gallon, the estimated annual fiscal impact of the liquid oxygen is $161,150- a
7% decrease in product cost from the prior 3 year bid. 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 (2016-2018) liquid oxygen bid to Air
Liquide Industrial US LP.
Respectfully Submitted, Approved:
