Report
Summary
The purpose of this contract is to provide odor and corrosion control chemicals and the supporting equipment such as storage tanks and injection pumps. The equipment and chemicals are needed to minimize both odors and corrosion in the sewer system due to the presence of sewer gasses such as hydrogen sulfide.
This amendment is necessary to prevent a severe disruption in odor and corrosion control caused by a loss of all of the equipment owned by the contracted vendor. A disruption in the program could result in public odor complaints or an exceedance of Maricopa County’s permitted operating requirements.
Contract Term
This amendment will extend the contract term for two additional years, with one additional option year.
Financial Impact
- The initial contract with EWT Holdings III Corp. was executed for a fee not-to-exceed $10.5 million.
- This amendment will increase the contract value by $6.5 million, for a new total contract value not to exceed $17 million.
Funding is available in the Water Services Department's Operating budget.
