RE: Award Bid to Matherson Tri-Gas Inc. for 2019 Liquid Oxygen for the Water Filtration
Plant($80,543.05)
BACKGROUND
This is a one-year bid for 2019 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 due December 14, 2018. The bid tab is attached. After
comparing vendor unit prices based on projected consumption, Purchasing and Water Filtration
personnel concluded the low bid met the minimum bid specifications.
FISCAL IMPACT
Based on the estimated usage of 175,000 gallons per year and Matherson Tri-Gas Inc.'s bid of
.460246/gallon, the estimated 2019 fiscal impact of the liquid oxygen is $80,543.05. 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 2019 liquid oxygen bid to Matherson Tri-Gas Inc. If there
are any questions on these bids please contact Public Works Director James Rabe or myself.
