Consider awarding WU-08-26 Rebid Water Treatment Coagulant to Veolia ES Technical Solutions in the amount of $105,000 annually for 1-year with four 1-year extensions, and authorizing the City Manager to negotiate and execute all related documents (Danielle Rix)

Staff Report & Agenda Item Details

The City of San Angelo Water Utilities Department recently requested rebids for the chemical purchase of Water Treatment Coagulant for the Water Production Plant for use in the treatment of potable water. The bid consisted of 1 item, Polyaluminum chloride, and respondents were to meet certain specifications and delivery requirements. The previous bid for this chemical purchase was rejected due to the only bidder having bid in ​pounds instead of gallons. Only one bid was received and met all criteria by Veolia ES Technical Solutions.
