DEPARTMENT: Water Utilities
SUBMITTED BY: Darrell Blenniss, Director
BACKGROUND:
In February 2019, City Council approved the award of Bid 19-040 to SNF Polydyne Inc. (SNF) for a 24-month term, with one, one-year option to extend.
The contractor provides the Springbrook Water Reclamation Center (SWRC) liquid cationic emulsion polymer. The liquid cationic emulsion polymer is used to dewater residual solids from the wastewater treatment process.
DISCUSSION:
Throughout the term of the original 24-month contract, SNF Polydyne provided good service and met all contact requirements, including, but not limited to:
• polymer quality;
• timeliness of all deliveries; and
• availability for consultation regarding product, if needed.
SNF Polydyne agreed to a zero-percent increase in cost for the option year. By exercising the option year, the City will continue to receive quality polymer and dependable service without an increase in unit cost. The term of the final renewal is January 1, 2021 through December 31, 2021.
FISCAL IMPACT:
CIP: N/A
Polymer is expensed to the salt and chemical account listed below. A total of $175,812 is budgeted for polymers needed for dewatering biosolids in 2020. The option year award will be used to assist in building the 2021 Budget, which will be presented later this year.
