Body
SUMMARY:
The Public Utilities Department is requesting authorization of a purchase order to utilize Evoqua for chemical tank and feed rental, the delivery of bulk hydrogen peroxide (50%) and Odophos for control of odors and corrosion at the Northeast Water Reclamation Facility and Lift Station 42.
The pricing for hydrogen peroxide (50%) and Odophos to manage odors and corrosion was obtained through a competitive bidding process under Manatee County Contract 24-R084063BB for Corrosion and Odor Control Services. This contract pricing, valid until July 19, 2025, includes delivery, application equipment, ongoing maintenance, technical evaluation/support services, and technology licenses. Authorization is requested to piggyback Manatee County Contract No. 24-R084063BB through July 19, 2025.
APPROPRIATION CODE AND AMOUNT:
Funds are available in Public Utilities operating code 4211355-530300, Other Contractual Service, and 4211355-551700, Bulk Chemicals, to fund this contract. Public Utilities is funded by the Water and Sewer Utility Enterprise Fund revenues.
STRATEGIC PRIORITY:
The approach has resulted in relatively few odor complaints over the last few years, therefore it is superior public service and a benefit to community well-being.
