Description
Request to authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to execute amendment to Contract 152371 with Evoqua Water Technologies LLC to provide additional funding to the agreement. Further request to authorize the City Controller to disburse all funds related to this item. The additional expenditures will not exceed $4,500,000.
Report
Summary
The purpose of the amendment is to request additional funds for the purchase of Sodium Chlorite 25 percent solution on an as-needed basis. The additional funds will allow the Water Services Department to maintain service at the department's water treatment plants and appropriately treat potable water. Increase in pricing over the contract term has depleted the original funding amount at a speed greater than anticipated.
Contract Term
The contract term remains unchanged, ending on August 31, 2025.
Financial Impact
The initial authorization for Sodium Chlorite 25 percent solution was for an expenditure not-to-exceed $12,500,000. The amendment will increase the amount by an additional $4,500,000 for a new not-to-exceed total value of $17,000,000.
Funds are available in the Water Service Department’s Operating budget.
