Summary

The Water & Wastewater Committee voted to accept the lowest chemical bid for the upcoming fiscal year after staff said prices remained roughly consistent with last year and usage, weather and treatment needs drive annual variation.

The Water & Wastewater Committee voted to approve the lowest chemical bid for the coming fiscal year after staff said prices were “pretty close” to last year.

Ricky, who presented the bid summary, told the committee that annual chemical purchases fluctuate with usage and weather. “It depends what we use, depends on how much we bump and weather conditions naturally,” he said, explaining that some orders run over into subsequent years depending on inventory and need.

A motion to approve the lowest bid was made and seconded, and the committee passed the motion by voice vote.

The committee took no other business and adjourned.
