Board awards ferric chloride bid to Kamira; Chemtrade approved as backup
Summary
Waukesha City accepted a low bid from Kamira for ferric chloride at $3,025 per dry ton and approved Chemtrade as an alternate supplier to ensure continuity of phosphorus removal at the Clean Water Plant.
The Waukesha Board of Public Works approved staff’s recommendation to accept the low bid from Kamira for ferric chloride at $3,025 per dry ton and to keep Chemtrade as an alternate supplier for phosphorus removal at the Clean Water Plant.
Zach Geisner, plant manager at the Clean Water Plant, said the chosen price was about 2.5% lower than last year and that the plant needs a reliable backup supplier in case of supply-chain disruption. Geisner said the Chemtrade alternate would be used only if supply issues affect the ferric chloride source.
A motion to accept the Kamira low bid and designate Chemtrade as a logistical backup was moved and seconded; the board voted to approve the contracts as presented.
