Report
Summary
MISCOwater supplies equipment, parts and service for the Wallace & Tiernan chlorinators used for disinfection purposes at WSD water and wastewater treatment plants. These parts and services are needed to meet plant requirements for National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System Permits. Without the additional funding, WSD will be unable to perform preventive maintenance and repairs to the chlorination systems which will limit the ability to produce potable water and treat wastewater.
Contract Term
The original contract term was from Dec.18, 2014, through Dec. 31, 2017, with two options to extend. Option year one became effective Jan. 1, 2018.
Financial Impact
Expenditures are not to exceed $2,100,000 over the life of the contract. Funding for the contract is available in the Water Service Department's operating budget.
Concurrence/Previous Council Action
Contract 139884 with MISCOwater was authorized by City Council on Dec. 17, 2014 via Ordinance S-41349. Subsequently, on July 6, 2017, City Council approved adding $225,000 to the contract via Payment Ordinance S-43790 to fund unexpected FY2016-17 Wastewater Treatment Division costs. The current request of $500,000 forecasts costs for the entire department and will increase the total contact aggregate to $2,100,000 over the life of the contract, including all options.
