Explanation

BACKGROUND: The Purchasing Office has established Universal Term Contract FL002590, for liquid caustic soda, with Univar USA. This contract will expire March 31, 2006. The Division of Water has already encumbered $1,138,898.33 against this contract and would like to establish an additional Blanket Purchase Order, for the Parsons Avenue Water Plant. Additional funds are needed because we were unsure as to how much we needed at the time legislation was initiated in March. We now have a better idea of what will be needed to carry us through March 2006. The Contract Compliance Number for Univar USA is 911347935. They do not have MBE/FBE status.

It is requested that this Ordinance be handled in an emergency manner, as the plant is running low on this chemical and need to have a purchase order established as soon as possible to order the product and pay the vendor on time.

FISCAL IMPACT: The Division of Water has allocated $8,874,786.00 for chemicals in the 2005 Budget.

$1,138,898.33 was encumbered for liquid caustic soda during 2005.
$1,403,850.00 was encumbered for liquid caustic soda during 2004.
