Title
Consider a resolution authorizing the Mayor to execute an Agreement with Polydyne, Inc. for the purchase of Bulk Flocculant Polymer for the East Wastewater Treatment Plant.
Body
The City operates the two Brushy Creek Regional Wastewater Treatment Plants for the Cities of Austin, Cedar Park, and Round Rock. The East Wastewater Treatment Plant requires a Polymer chemical for sludge processing during daily operations. A contract to purchase this chemical is required by state purchasing law. The City initiated an invitation for bid in May 2019 and Polydyne provided the lowest bid. The Utilities and Environmental Services Department recommends a 5-year term contract not to exceed $1,089,000 ($217,800/year).
Round Rock's portion of this contract is approximately 70 percent of the annual cost, which is determined by the annual operation and maintenance cost to operate the regional treatment plant.
Cost: $1,089,000
