Explanation

BACKGROUND: The Purchasing Office has established Universal Term Contract FL001091, for powdered activated carbon, with Envirotrol Inc. This contract will expire March 31, 2005. The Division of Water has already encumbered $777,150.00 against this contract and would like to establish an additional Blanket Purchase Order, for the Dublin Road and Hap Cremean Water Plants. Additional funds are needed because we ran into high atrazine levels in the raw water source. Carbon is needed to reduce these levels. The Contract Compliance Number for Envirotrol Inc. is 25-1209145. They do not have MBE/FBE status.

It is requested that this Ordinance be handled in an emergency manner, as the plants are 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 $7,329,927.00 for chemicals in the 2004 Budget.

$ 906,950.00 was expended for powdered activated carbon during 2003.
$ 767,125.00 was expended for powdered activated carbon during 2002.
