Title
Consider a resolution authorizing the Mayor to execute an Agreement with Brenntag Southwest. Inc. for the purchase of Sodium Permanganate.
Body
The City of Round Rock has developed a sodium permanganate chemical feed system at our raw water intake at Lake Georgetown. This chemical feed system is to mitigate taste and odor problems while also protecting our raw water pipeline from invasive zebra mussels. Previously, the City used Shannon Chemical for a 20% sodium permanganate chemical solution; however, a 40% sodium permanganate solution is more cost-effective for the utility to use.The City initiated an invitation for bid in April 2019. Brenntag Southwest, Inc provided the lowest bid for the supply of the 40% sodium permanganate solution.
Cost: $178,800
Source of Funds: Utility Fund
