Title
APPROVE 2012 WATER TREATMENT CHEMICAL BIDS
Background
Bids were advertised and received for water treatment chemicals for 2012. We received and opened two bids for various chemicals on Monday, November 14, 2011. 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 2012, 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 DPC being awarded our Polyphosphate, Zinc Poly, and Sulfur Dioxide (1tons & 150#) for $71,317.00. Hawkins will be awarded the remaining chemicals, Fluoride, Chlorine for $75,997.00
Staff recommends award of the Water Treatment Chemical bid for 2011 to low bidders for each chemical, DPC Industries, Inc. for $71,317.00 and Hawkins for $75,997.00 and authorize the purchase of these chemicals for water treatment.
Recommendation
By motion, award the 2012 Water Treatment Chemicals Bid to DPC Industries, Inc. for $71,317.00 and Hawkins for $75,997.00 to be charged to the Water Utility Fund and authorize the purchase of these chemicals for water treatment.
