Ashland commissioners approve multiple water and wastewater chemical purchase contracts
Summary
At a recess meeting April 25, the Board of City Commissioners of Ashland approved a series of ordinances awarding supply contracts for water- and wastewater-treatment chemicals to multiple vendors, each listed with contract price per unit.
The Board of City Commissioners of the City of Ashland, Kentucky, on April 25 approved a series of ordinances authorizing the mayor to execute contracts for chemicals used by the city’s utilities divisions of water production and wastewater treatment.
The approvals cover separate purchases from multiple suppliers for specific treatment chemicals and related supplies, with unit prices set in each ordinance.
The ordinances—each read for a second time and adopted—authorize contracts with the following vendors at the prices quoted in the ordinances: Bridal Mid South Inc. for powder activated carbon at $1.19 per pound, hydroflow salicylic acid at $3.39 per gallon and sodium hypochlorite at $1.8625 per gallon; Kim Bridal Incorporated for potassium permanganate at $2.12 per pound; Citco Water for aluminum sulfate at $1.761 per gallon and sand at $0.107 per pound; Evonik Corporation for (described in the minutes as) “parasitic acid” at $0.797 per pound; Paula Dean Inc. for liquid polymer at $17.114 per gallon (water plant), $15.308 per gallon (wastewater plant) and polymer cationic at $2.41 per pound; Univar Solutions USA Inc. for liquid caustic soda at $1.077 per gallon; and USALCO LLC for poly aluminum chloride at $3.2814 per gallon.
Each ordinance was moved, seconded and adopted without extended discussion. Where the meeting record shows only the standard roll-call question (“All in favor?”) but does not list individual votes, the actions are recorded in the meeting minutes as second reading and final adoption.
The contracts were presented as department-level procurement for the Department of Utilities, Divisions of Water Production and Wastewater Treatment. The ordinances specify unit prices; the meeting transcript does not record total contract quantities or multi-year term lengths.
The approvals will permit the utilities divisions to purchase the listed chemicals at the stated per-unit prices under the contracts authorized by the ordinances.
Votes at a glance: the meeting record shows each ordinance read for a second time and adopted; the transcript records unanimous “Aye” responses and no recorded roll-call tallies or named no votes except a brief, unclear exchange at one vote where a speaker voiced opposition without a clear name, so individual vote tallies are not specified in the transcript.
