Explanation

BACKGROUND: This ordinance is for the option to purchase Liquid Ferric Chloride through a Universal Term Contract for the Public Utilities Department. Liquid Ferric Chloride is used by the Division of Sewerage and Drainage as a chemical pretreatment for the sludge dewatering process in wastewater applications. The term of the proposed option contract will be three (3) years. The contract is through June 30, 2014, with the option to extend for one additional year. The Purchasing Office opened formal bids on May 26, 2011.

The Purchasing Office advertised and solicited competitive bids in accordance with Section 329.06 (Solicitation SA003958). Forty one (41) (M1A:0, F1:1) bids were solicited; A total of two (2) bid proposals (M1A:0, F1:0) were received.

The Purchasing Office is recommending award to the lowest, responsive, responsible and best bidder in compliance with the specifications.

Kemira Water Solutions Inc, CC#593657872 (expires 10/06/2011).

Total Estimated Annual Expenditure: $100,000.00

This company is not debarred according to the Federal Excluded Parties Listing or the State Auditor's Findings For Recovery Database.

This ordinance is being submitted as an emergency because Liquid Ferric Chloride is necessary as a chemical pretreatment for the sludge dewatering process in wastewater treatment and any discontinuation of this product would negatively affect the delivery of valuable public services.

FISCAL IMPACT: Funding to establish this option contract is budgeted in the Mail, Print Services and UTC Fund. City Agencies will be required to obtain approval to expend from their own appropriations for their estimated annual expenditures.
