TO: Mayor Thomas J. Weisner
FROM: Bob Leible, Assistant Superintendent of Water Production
DATE: November 3, 2015
SUBJECT:
Resolution Awarding Contracts to Supply Process Chemicals for the Water Production Division.
PURPOSE:
To obtain City Council approval for the execution of contracts with suppliers of various process chemicals for the Water Production Division.
BACKGROUND:
Each year the Water Production Division solicits bids for process chemicals to be used at the Water Treatment Plant. These chemicals are essential and necessary to the operation of the various water treatment processes such as softening, disinfection, fluoridation, and taste & odor control, as well as regulatory compliance with drinking water standards. Sealed bids for this purpose were opened on October 21, 2015.
DISCUSSION:
Most contracts are awarded to the lowest responsive, responsible bidder for a period of one-year, which may be renewable for a second year when mutually agreed upon by the City of Aurora and the supplier. Certain chemicals are occasionally bid on a trial basis because the chemical's performance in the treatment process has not yet been determined. The chemicals bid for this solicitation are all offered for a two-year period.
Funds have been requested in the 2016 City Budget in Account No. 510-4058-511-65-36.
IMPACT STATEMENT:
None.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
That the attached resolution be submitted to the City Council for their approval so that contracts may be executed for two-year periods as indicated therein. It is further recommended that this matter be forwarded to the Finance Committee for their review and approval.
