AWARD BID FOR 2015 WATER TREATMENT CHEMICALS TO BE CHARGED TO THE WATER UTILITY FUND
Background
Bids were advertised and received for water treatment chemicals for 2015. We received and opened two bids for various chemicals on Wednesday, November 12, 2014. Chemicals utilized in water production are Chlorine, Sulfur Dioxide, Fluoride and Phosphates. The bid was based on the average amount of chemicals used for water pumped. If more water is pumped in 2015, the chemicals purchased will be increased. Again, this year staff is recommending that the awards be made to both companies on the low bid products.
Proceeding in that manner results in Hawkins being awarded our Chlorine 1 ton and 150#, Sulfur Dioxide 150#, Polyphosphate, Zinc Poly for $86,596.00. DPC Industries will be awarded the remaining chemicals, Fluoride, and Sulfur Dioxide 1 tons for $58,195.00.
Staff recommends award of the Water Treatment Chemical bid for 2015 to low bidders for each chemical, DPC Industries, Inc. for $58,195.00 and Hawkins for $86,596.00 and authorize the purchase of these chemicals for water treatment.
Recommendation
By motion, award the 2015 Water Treatment Chemicals Bid to DPC Industries, Inc. for $58,195.00 and Hawkins for $86,596.00 to be charged to the Water Utility Fund and authorize the purchase of these chemicals for water treatment.
