Title
Consider a resolution authorizing the Mayor to execute an Agreement with Hach Company for the purchase of water quality testing equipment, supplies and chemicals.
Body
The Environmental Services Division uses Hach brand products for City laboratory equipment, distribution, sampling equipment, and in-line instrumentation. Using Hach Company exclusively helps the City to maintain warranties and helps to minimize ordering/stocking from multiple vendors as they are a sole source provider for Hach products. Hach has agreed to offer free shipping and a discount across the board on Hach Products. The Utility and Environmental Services Department recommends a five-year term contract at $90,000 per year for a not-to-exceed amount of $450,000.
Cost: $450,000
