Board renews sodium hypochlorite supply contract; unit price falls to $2.14 per gallon
Summary
The board approved renewal of the sodium hypochlorite (bleach) supply contract used in the reuse irrigation and distribution system. Staff said the new contract reduces the unit price from $2.43/gal to $2.14/gal and staff expects to budget about $200,000 for the year (usage is weather dependent).
John Strickland, a staff member, presented a renewal of the sodium hypochlorite supply contract that supports the reuse irrigation system (soccer fields, golf courses, dedicated farms) and the distribution system. He said the contract was originally bid in 2023 and provides for annual renewals; staff asked the board to approve the renewal for the coming year.
John told the board the budgeted spend for the product is roughly $200,000, noting weather drives irrigation demand (wetter years require less bleach for reuse irrigation). He said the new contract’s unit price is lower than the previous contract: “coming down from $2.43 per gallon to about $2.14 per gallon.”
A member moved to approve the renewal, a second was recorded, and the board voted in favor. Staff noted the $200,000 is an informational budget estimate tied to expected annual usage.
