THROUGH: Paul Ostrander, City Manager
FROM: Scott Curtin, Public Works Director
DATE: December 12, 2018
SUBJECT: Resolution No. 2018-69 Authorizing the Sole Source Purchase of Water
Treatment Chemicals to Nalco, an EcoLab Company.
The purpose of this memo is to recommend passage of Resolution 2018-69; to authorize the Sole
Source purchase of water treatment chemicals to Nalco, Inc. for $34,000.
Nalco was the successful chemical company whose product was tested during the design and
construction of the water treatment facility. Their chemicals were found to be superior to the other
chemicals tested, and they continue to meet the needs and the requirements of the City today.
Approval of this Resolution will allow the Public Works Department to continue to effectively
manage our Water Treatment Facility, and continue to deliver clear drinking water to our
residents.
The requested amount is lower than normal as it will only provide chemicals through June 30,
2019. After which time it is the intention of the Public Works Department to issue a new recurring
contract for three years with an optional two year extension, to run concurrently with our fiscal
year to simplify the issuance of Purchase Orders and to standardize our contracting process.
The administration supports this Sole Source purchase.
Council's support for Resolution 2018-69 is respectfully requested.
