Board approves $9,577 purchase to replace potassium permanganate day tank
Summary
The board approved buying a replacement potassium permanganate day tank for $9,577, citing age and internal degradation of the existing tank installed in 2011; staff said they received multiple quotes and will perform the installation in-house.
The Board of Polyquarks and Capital Assets approved a $9,577 agreement with Fiberglass Solutions LLC for a replacement potassium permanganate day tank.
Staff explained the tank stores and mixes potassium permanganate for feed into the intake system where it helps reduce zebra mussel colonization and serves as an early oxidant. The existing tank had been in service since 2011 and was showing internal flaking and clogging issues, prompting replacement. Staff said they solicited multiple quotes and the awarded vendor was the lowest qualified bidder; a $400 shipping allowance was added to the recommendation because the exact shipping cost was not yet confirmed. City staff indicated they would install the tank.
Board member Alley moved to enter the agreement; the motion passed by roll call with members recorded as voting in favor.
No timeline for delivery or commissioning beyond the purchase was given at the meeting.
