SUBJECT
Title
Authorize the purchase of one clarifier drive unit for the Water Utilities Department - Rebuild-it Services Group, LLC, only bidder - Not to exceed $114,862 - Financing: Water Construction Fund
Body
BACKGROUND
This purchase will provide for one clarifier drive unit for the Water Utilities Department. The clarifier drive unit will be used at the Bachman Water Treatment Plant. Clarifier drives serve a critical role in the sedimentation process, continuously operating to remove accumulated residuals from the water treatment process. The replacement of the clarifier will allow for continuous and timely removal of residuals supporting the plant's continued compliance with the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality requirements for drinking water.
Delaying the purchase of the clarifier drive hinders the effectiveness of the sedimentation process, resulting in plant restrictions to accommodate manual removal of residuals.
As part of the solicitation process and in an effort to increase competition, the Office of Procurement Services used its procurement system to send out email notifications to vendors registered under relevant commodity codes. To further increase competition, the Office of Procurement Services uses historical solicitation information, the Internet, and vendor contact information obtained from user departments to contact additional vendors.
