Title
Purchase Supply of Water/Wastewater Disinfectant - Amendment (Ordinance S-47419)
Description
Request to authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to execute an amendment to Agreement 144726 with DPC Enterprises, Inc. to provide additional funding for the agreement. Further request to authorize the City Controller to disburse all funds related to this item. The additional expenditures for goods included in this amendment will not exceed $553,000.
Report
Summary
The purpose of this amendment is to continue to provide the Water Services Department (WSD), Water Production and Wastewater Treatment plants with supply of water/wastewater disinfectant. Due to the increase in the cost of water/wastewater disinfectant which took effect on April 1, 2019, an increase in water production output since the agreement was originally executed on April 1, 2017, and a decrease of the region's raw water quality, it is necessary to add funds to continue to purchase the disinfectant. Without a supply of disinfectant for the Water and Wastewater Treatment plants, WSD would lack the ability to disinfect drinking water and treat wastewater discharge to state and federal regulatory standards.
Contract Term
The agreement’s term will remain unchanged, ending on March 31, 2022.
Financial Impact
The initial agreement for the Water/Wastewater Disinfectant Contract was authorized for an expenditure not-to-exceed $4.3 million. This amendment will increase the authorization for agreement’s cost by an additional $553,000, for a new total not-to-exceed agreement value $4,853,000.
Funding is available in the Water Services Department's Operating budget.
Concurrence/Previous Council Action
The City Council approved Water/Wastewater Disinfectant Agreement 144726 (Ordinance S-43355) on March 22, 2017.
