City Council will consider awarding a purchase agreement to Trojan Technologies in the amount of $375,400.00 to acquire ultraviolet (UV) disinfection equipment to be installed under a separate contract in fall/winter 2019 for capacity expansion at the Water Reclamation Facility (WRF). The equipment would be installed in an existing spare channel that was designed and constructed under a previous project to fit the exact dimensions of the requested equipment.  The City is already using identical equipment at the WRF to disinfect plant effluent in two other channels, and the new equipment must function under the same system control center and hydraulics system center as the other equipment.  As a result, staff is requesting sole sourcing the equipment purchase.

The purchase agreement includes supplying all the equipment, parts and documentation, as well as performing the (re)programming, start-up, instruction, and testing described in the Scope of Supply and Specifications included with the purchase agreement.
 

City Council may:

• Approve award of the procurement contract to Trojan Technologies, or;
• Disapprove award of the procurement contract. If the equipment is not procured, expansion of the WRF's capacity to perform required disinfection of wastewater disinfection prior to discharge to the Yellowstone River will be delayed, resulting in a less robust treatment process.

The following price was received on June 6, 2019, for W.O. 19-31, WRF UV Equipment Procurement:
