Re: agenda item
Date: January 06, 2004
Please place the following item on the City Commission agenda for consideration at their January 13, 2004 meeting:
Nalcolyte 8186 polymer, a water treatment chemical, needs to be ordered for the Clinton Water Treatment Plant. This product has been used at the Clinton Plant for approximately 12 years as the primary coagulant. The polymer is provided by only one vendor, at $ 0.45 per pound (a 2% reduction from last year price) and staff requests approval to order product quantity for 10 months of usage. We are requesting approval to issue a purchase order to Nalco Chemical Company for $58,500.00 (includes freight) for 130,000 pounds of chemical. This purchase will be funded from the Clinton Treatment Plant’s chemical line item of the 2004-operating budget.
Thank you for your consideration of this request. Please let me know if you have any questions.
