Explanation

This legislation authorizes the Director of Finance and Management to establish a blanket purchase order for the Purchase of Polymer for the Division of Sewerage and Drainage in accordance with a Universal Term Contract in process.

Polymer is utilized at the Southerly Wastewater Treatment Plants as a dewatering agent in the treatment of sludge for land application and incineration. The wastewater treatment plants utilize separate dewatering systems currently and those systems each require a separate type of Polymer. The Purchasing Office opened formal bids for the purchase of Polymer for the Southerly Wastewater Treatment Plant on November 3, 2005. Three (3) bids were received.

The tabulation of the results is attached


SUPPLIER: Polydyne Inc. (34-1810283).

The above prior year expenditures include both wastewater treatment plants.
