| TO: | City of New Port Richey City Council | | FROM: | Robert M Rivera, Public Works Director | | DATE: | 7/5/2022 | | RE: | Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP)/Water Treatment Plant (WTP) Bulk Chemical Purchase ITB22-016 Award |
REQUEST:
The request of staff for City Council is to review and consider for approval the attached bid results submitted to the City for the bulk purchase of sodium hypochlorite used in the treatment process of wastewater and raw water and award the low bid to Allied Universal Corporation.
DISCUSSION:
On June 9, 2022 two (2) sealed bid packages were received by the City Clerk and opened on June 10, 2022. The results of the bid tabulation identified the apparent low bidder as Allied Universal Corporation of Miami Florida for bulk purchase of sodium hypochlorite at $0.988 a gallon (gl). This is an increase of the current $0.66 per gallon rate or a $57,400 per year increase for the WWTP and approximately a $47,560 increase for the WTP. The other bid submitted was from Odyssey Manufacturing Company at a rate of $1.45/gl. The other vendor, Univar USA declined to submit a bid. Subsequent to the bid tabulation, Wastewater Treatment Plant personnel reviewed and verified performance standards of the sodium hypochlorite as describe in the bid documents and have confirmed that Allied Universal Corporation has met all of the terms of the bid documents.
RECOMMENDATION:
The recommended action by staff of Council is to approve the bid tabulation and award the low bid for the purchase of hypochlorite to Allied Universal Corporation.
BUDGET/FISCAL IMPACT:
Funding for the purchases is budgeted and available in the Water Pollution Control No. 401112-45221, Reclaimed Water-Production No. 401111-45221.
