Title
AWARD BID FOR 2014 WATER TREATMENT CHEMICALS
Background
Bids were advertised and received for water treatment chemicals for 2014. We received and opened two bids for various chemicals on Tuesday, December 2, 2013. 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 2014, 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 Industries being awarded our Zinc Orthophosphate and Sulfur Dioxide 1 tons $65,800.00. Hawkins will be awarded the remaining chemicals, Fluoride (HF), Chlorine (CL2), and Sulfur Dioxide (SO2) 150# and Polyphosphate for $81,285.00
Staff recommends award of the Water Treatment Chemical bid for 2014 to low bidders for each chemical, DPC Industries, Inc. for $65,800.00 and Hawkins for $81,285.00 and authorize the purchase of these chemicals for water treatment.
