Explanation:
The Department of Public Utilities requires the purchase of Liquid Chlorine in one (1) ton cylinders, used by the Wastewater Treatment Plant as a pretreatment for odor control and to disinfect effluent prior to discharge to the ocean outfall.
The required liquid chlorine was competitively bid by the Seacoast Utility Authority (Bid Number 14-550-W) and on February 26, 2014 the Seacoast Utility Authority board awarded an agreement to Allied Universal Corporation for a one (1) year period with an option to renew for two (2) additional one (1) year periods.
Allied Universal Corporation has agreed to offer the City the same pricing, terms and conditions as agreed upon with the Seacoast Utility Authority.
Allied Universal Corporation has provided the City of Hollywood with liquid chlorine in the past with satisfactory results.
Purchasing Ordinance, Section 38.40 (C)(5) allows the Director to procure, without following formal procedures, all goods and services which are subject of contracts with the state, its political subdivisions, the United States government, other governmental entities, or a corporation not for profit whose members are governmental entities, public officers, or any combination thereof, provided however, the goods and services are: (i) the subject of a price schedule negotiated by the state or the United States government, or (ii) the subject of a contract with another governmental entity or a corporation not for profit whose members are governmental entities, public officers, or any combination thereof, which contract is based strictly on competitive bids or competitive proposals and not on any preference.
The Director of Public Utilities and the Director of Procurement Services recommend that the City Commission approve the attached Blanket Purchase Order to Allied Universal Corporation of Miami, Florida, for the purchase of liquid chlorine for a one (1) year period with an option to renew for two (2) additional one (1) year periods, in an estimated annual amount of $120,000.00.
Funding for the attached blanket purchase order has been provided for in the fiscal year 2014 budget in the Department of Public Utilities Account Number 42.4041.00000.536.005233 and will be budgeted in subsequent fiscal years.
