BACKGROUND:
In October 2018, City Council approved the award of Bid 19-039 to SNF Polydyne Inc. (SNF) for a 24-month term, with one, one-year options to extend.
The contractor provides liquid cationic emulsion polymer used in the gravity belt thickeners (GBTs) for processing aerobically digested waste activated sludge in the gravity belt thickener building at the Springbrook Water Reclamation Center (SWRC).
DISCUSSION:
Throughout the term of the original 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 extension is January 1, 2021 through December 31, 2021.
FISCAL IMPACT:
CIP: N/A
