Proposed Motion:

Move City Council approve Agreement No. PW5-885-4805, with Univar Solutions USA, LLC, for Aluminum Chlorohydrate, in an amount not to exceed $130,000, for a one-year period, November 1, 2024, through October 31, 2025, with the option of up to four additional one-year extensions.

Background/Discussion:

Aluminum Chlorohydrate (ACH) is a water treatment chemical used to coagulate particulate solids in water or wastewater. ACH is required for treatment of surface water from the Salt River Project canal at the new Reclaimed Water Interconnect Facility (RWIF), located near 905 E. Queen Creek Road. This coagulant changes the electrical charge of the particulate solids, causing them to attract and form larger solids that can be removed from water. Because the RWIF will use ACH as a direct additive to the treatment process, new product needs to be continuously ordered and applied. This agreement will provide for the purchase of ACH for use in water treatment at the RWIF.

Evaluation:

On August 1, 2024, city staff issued Invitation for Bid No. PW5-885-4805 for ACH. Notification was sent to all registered vendors. Responses were received from the following offerors: Univar Solutions USA, LLC Hill Brothers Chemical Company Staff evaluated the bids and recommends award to Univar Solutions USA, LLC, which submitted a bid that is fair, reasonable, and meets the needs of the city.
