It is necessary for the Public Works, Wastewater Division to contract for the supply of polymer, which is used to dewater liquid bio-solids into a drier product for subsequent disposal per State requirements. Polymer is used at four of the five wastewater plants, where we have dewatering equipment.
SCOPE OF CONTRACT/AGREEMENT
The awarded vendor will provide 55 gallon drums or 250 gallon totes of polymer on an as needed basis throughout the contract. The contract will be for one (1) year, with two (2) renewal options upon the mutual agreement of the parties, and the approval of City Council.
BID AND AWARD
The City solicited bids for the supply of polymers through Bid # 1218-17, which was published in the paper and posted on the City’s e-bid system. Bid invitations were provided to 97 vendors. Three sealed bids were received December 21, 2017 for the supply of polymer to four (4) of the City’s wastewater treatment plants. Of the three (3) bids received, one (1) response was a “no bid”, yielding two responsive bidders. The lowest responsible bidder is Fort Bend Services, which is also the incumbent vendor (see Exhibit A). Public Works personnel report a high level of satisfaction with their product and service and recommend the contract award be awarded again to Fort Bend Services.
SCHEDULE
