Explanation
The purpose of this legislation is to authorize the Director of Finance and Management to enter into contract with Just In Time Sales Corp. for the purchase of Siemens Gas Analyzers for the Division of Sewerage and Drainage.
Federal regulation contained in 40CFR Part 503 requires that the total hydrocarbon (THC) and oxygen emissions from bio-solid incinerators be continuously monitored. The current Continuous Monitoring System (CEMS) is currently being upgraded and as part of that project the analyzers being purchased will interface with the CEMS at each of the wastewater treatment plants. The current analyzers are outdated and need to be replaced.
The Purchasing Office opened formal bids on October 22, 2009. Nineteen (19) bids were solicited, 2 FBE. Three (3) bids were received. After review of the bids the Division of Sewerage and Drainage made a recommendation for all items to the lowest, responsive and responsible bidder, Just In Time Sales Corp. A bid tabulation is attached.
