Title

Resolution - A Proposed Resolution Awarding a One Year Reneawable Contract to the Lowest and Best Bid for the Supply of Liquid Ammonium Sulfate (LAS), for an Amount not to Exceed $191.98 / Wet Ton (Utility Fund FY-2015, FY-2015 Operating Budget 25-8105-8401)

 

Requested Action

Resolution authorizing a one year option renewable contract for the purchase of Liquid Ammonium Sulfate (LAS).

 

Recommendation

City staff recommends awarding the bid to the lowest bidder, Chameleon Industries, for the amount of $191.98 / wet 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 mailed to known suppliers and companies that requested them.

 

Justification

The TCEQ requires public water systems to provide a chloramine residual in the distribution system. When used in combination with chlorine, Liquid Ammonium Sulfate (LAS) produces the required chlolramine residual.
