Explanation:
The Department of Public Utilities needs to purchase Sodium Hypochlorite 12% in both full truckloads and partially full truckloads. Sodium Hypochlorite 12% is used for odor control and the disinfection of potable water produced at the Water Treatment Plant for consumption by City of Hollywood (“COH”) residents and businesses.
The desired supplies and services were competitively bid by the City of Fort Lauderdale (“CFL”) through Bid #519-2 on August 13, 2025, and awarded to Allied Universal Corporation (“Allied”).
The CFL awarded Contract No. 25-0940 for the supply and delivery of Sodium Hypochlorite 12% to Allied for an initial term of two years from November 30, 2025, to November 29, 2027, with an option to renew for two additional one-year periods.
The desired supply and delivery of Sodium Hypochlorite 12% will be acquired from December 10, 2025, through November 29, 2027, in an estimated annual amount of up to $800,000.00.
The Director of the Department of Public Utilities and the Chief Procurement Officer recommend that the City Commission approve and authorize the execution of a Blanket Purchase Agreement with Allied Universal Corporation for the supply and delivery of Sodium Hypochlorite 12% in an estimated annual amount of up to $800,000.00.
Allied has agreed to extend to the COH the same pricing and terms as outlined in the CFL Contract No. 25-0940.

Section 38.47 provides the CPO the authority to join with other governmental entities in cooperative purchasing plans when the best interest of the City is served. Cooperative acquisitions where the expenditure by the City is estimated to be in excess of $100,000.00 shall be subject to approval by the City Commission.
