Body
SUMMARY:
Public Utilities would like to continue using their current odor control system for the Northeast Water Reclamation Facility (WRF). The process combines the Odophos (iron salt) and hydrogen peroxide to reduce fugitive odors as well as reducing corrosion.
Evoqua Water Technologies has successfully provided this service at the Northeast WRF facility for several years.
Piggyback using Lee County Contract RFP170384/ANB, for Annual Odor Control & Corrosion Services which expires May 13, 2024, and a monthly tank rental pursuant to City Code Section 2.563 (1)(d): Impractical to bid. The rental of $971.00/month is impractical to bid due to Evoqua supplying the tanks for the Odophos and are the only ones allowed to service them.
APPROPRIATION CODE AND AMOUNT:
Budgeted funds for FY23 are available in Public Utilities’ cost center 4211355-551700 Bulk Chemicals.
Funding for future years will be requested within contract calendar and spending limits.
