annual cost will be limited to the budgeted amount for this service.

BACKGROUND:
Bids were taken in accordance with Local Government Code Chapter 252, Subchapter
B, Section 252.021 (a) and Section 252.041 (a). The bid advertisement posted in the
Fort Worth Star-Telegram on April 9, 2009 and April 16, 2009. Bids were issued to
fifteen vendors, with nine vendors responding to the invitation.
The invitation requested fixed annual pricing to provide various water and wastewater
chemicals used in the daily operations of the water and wastewater treatment plants.
With the exception of Simply Aquatics, all of the responding vendors met the requested
qualifications and specifications of the bid. Simply Aquatics did not meet the vendor
qualifications outlined in the bid, due to references obtained. Council approved awards
to those vendors who were lowest on each item.
Each of the current contract vendors were contacted by Staff to see if they would renew
their contracts and if there would be any price increases. All vendors responded with
acknowledgements to renew the contracts.
Due to the volatile market, Council approved pricing adjustments at the end of each
quarter of the contract. This allowed the City to monitor the fluctuating prices of the
market resulting in a current reduction in the cost from last year by -3.0% to begin this
renewal period. (See attached pricing)
Staff recommends award of an annual contract to DPC Industries,.Altivia Corporation, .
Univar, Harcross Chemicals and Fort Bend Services for Water and Wastewater
Chemicals.
