Commission approves annual chemical bids for treatment operations
Summary
The commission accepted low bids for chemicals used in water/wastewater treatment, listing suppliers and bid amounts as presented in the packet.
The Fall River City Water and Sewer Commission approved the department’s annual chemical contracts as the lowest responsible bidders listed in the meeting packet.
Staff read the bid results and recommended awarding contracts to the low bidders. Items and vendors cited in the meeting included: sodium hypochlorite to Unova for $139,990; a bid for polylobutum chloride (transcript spelling) to Tehala and Company; caustic soda to a vendor described as Remington for $284,760; and carbon dioxide to Airgas for an amount that appears in the packet text as $125,009,925 (the number in the transcript appears garbled and should be verified against the packet). Staff confirmed these were the lowest responsible bidders and that the city has done business with several of the vendors in the past.
The chair moved to award the chemical bids as listed; the motion was seconded and passed unanimously. Staff did not individually call every vendor into the record at the meeting; details and official contract documents are in the procurement packet.
