Resolution 2020-66 Amendment Memo
The 2020 Chemicals Bid was released on July 21 , 2020 for the new fiscal year's supply of various
chemicals for both the water and waste water plants. Bids were received on August 4, 2020 .
Univar, our existing supplier, was the only responder to the Invitation to Bid .
The Chemicals being purchased include Sodium Hypochlorite, Sodium Bisulfite, and Mississippi
Standard Hydrated Lime . The Sodium Hypochlorite is used at both the water plant and waste
plant to chlorinate the water & sewage effluent, the Sodium Bisulfite removes the chlorine from
the waste water treatment plant making it safe to d ischarge into Cook Inlet, the Mississippi Lime
is used to adjust the ph of the sewage in the Digester at the waste water plant.
Sodium Bisulfite contracted price last year was $272 for a 5701b drum , this year's price is $270 .
Sodium Hypochlorite contracted price last year was $220 for a 53gal drum , this year's price is
$245 . Mississippi Lime contracted price last year was $28.52 per 501b bag , this year's price is
$25/bag . Pricing as quoted is fair and reasonable.
It should also be noted that due to operational efficiencies by staff and in an effort to tighten up
our budgets the amounts of chemicals being purchased have been reduced, which in turn reduce
the overall costs to the City . Last year the City contracted for the purchase of 53 drums of
Sodium Bisulfite, 329 drums of Sodium Hypochlorite, and 245 bags of Mississippi Lime . This
year we are contracting for 25 drums of Sodium Bisulfite , 232 drums of Sodium Hypochlorite,
and 50 bags of Mississippi Lime. Last year's total contracted cost for these chemicals was
$93 ,783 this year's contract will be $64 ,840 .
Council 's support is respectfully requested .
