Explanation
BACKGROUND: The Purchasing Office has current and pending Universal Term Contracts for water treatment chemicals with the companies listed below. The Division of Power and Water needs to establish Blanket Purchase Orders, based on these current and pending contracts, for the purchase of these chemicals during 2012. None of the vendors listed below have certified MBE/FBE status.
Emergency Action is necessary so that purchase orders can be issued as soon as possible. Without this emergency designation, it is estimated that new funding could not be established until May 9, 2012. Liquid Chlorine, Powdered Activated Carbon, Carbon Dioxide, and Quicklime contracts expire on March 31, 2012.
