Requested Action
Resolution awarding a one year renewable contract for the supply of Liquid Sodium Hydroxide (Caustic Soda).
 
Recommendation
City staff recommends awarding the contract to the lowest and best bidder, K.A. Steel Chemicals, for the amount of $538.00 / dry ton.
 
Description/History
The invitation to bid was advertised in the Fort Worth Star Telegram, posted on the City of Mansfield website, and bid packets were e-mailed to known suppliers and companies that requested them.
 
Justification
Sodium Hydroxide is used to adjust the pH of the drinking water prior to distribution to the public. Adjusting the pH of the water allows water treatment plant personnel to distribute water that is both non-corrosive and stable. The protection of public health and the drinking water system in general depend on these factors.
