Report
Summary
The purpose of this contract is to provide WSD with maintenance services for the ferrous chloride modular storage and dosing systems which are installed at two WSD locations, as well as provide the required ferrous chloride chemical, which is injected into the sanitary sewer system to control odor and corrosion.
This direct selection is necessary because USP Technologies is the original equipment manufacturer of the modular storage and dosing systems, and is the only Contractor that can provide the necessary patented chemical and maintenance services.
USP Technologies' services include, but are not limited to: maintaining the modular storage and dosing systems; and providing the ferrous chloride chemical.
Procurement Information
The selection was made using a direct selection process set forth in City of Phoenix Administrative Regulation 3.10. A direct selection was made because USP Technologies' unique modular storage and dosing systems require special maintenance and supplies, and thus would make a competitive process impracticable.
Contract Term
The term of the agreement is for five years and will begin on July 1, 2020.
Financial Impact
The agreement value for USP Technologies will not exceed $7 million. Funding is available in the Water Services Department's operating budget.
