BACKGROUND:
Bids were taken in accordance with Local Government Code Chapter 252, Subchapter
B, Section 252.021, 252.0215, and 252.022.
This bid was advertised in the Fort Worth Star Telegram and the Grapevine Sun on
January 4, 2001 and January 11, 2001.
The purpose of this bid was to set fixed pricing for various types of water and
wastewater chemicals. The bid was sent to nineteen vendors with fourteen vendors
responding. The bid is for an initial one-year period with an option to renew for two
additional one-year periods.
With the exception of item 10, all bids submitted met the requirements and specifications
of the bid. There were three items where vendors submitted identical pricing. Under
Texas Government Code 271.901 (b) Staff selected Harcros Chemicals as the low bid
for these items by the casting of lots. In addition, Staff requested that samples of item 10
(Polymer) be submitted for testing purposes. The tests revealed that the low bid of
Polydyne, Inc. was not a cost effective product to use due to its inability to coagulate. It
March 14, 2001 (10:26AM)
is recommended that this item be awarded to the next low bid of Fort Bend Services that
passed the coagulation tests.
It is recommended that the award be made to all low bid items as shown on attachment
"A", with the exception of item 10, which is recommended to be awarded to Fort Bend
Services.
Staff recommends approval.
