Staff Recommends: Approval of the attached Resolution.
Explanation:
The Department of Public Utilities (“Department”) desires to purchase emulsified polymer Clarifloc SE-1804 for use as a biosolids thickening agent. Liquid wastewater entering the Southern Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant typically contains a very small percentage of solids, roughly 2.5% of the influent. Many of these solids are also lightweight, making them more difficult to remove from suspension in the water. Emulsified polymer is a product used to clump these small, light, particles together through a process called flocculation. The clumped particles are much easier to remove from the liquid wastewater. The solids need to be combined to increase the biosolid concentration to at least 18% solid during the belt filter press dewatering process prior to entering lime stabilization treatment to produce Class AA EQ fertilizer for distribution to sod farms.
A competitive process for the desired emulsified polymers was bid by Volusia County through Volusia County Bid 22-B-08LS Emulsified Polymer (22-B-08LS) on November 30, 2021, and awarded to Polydyne Inc.
The current term of 22-B-08LS is from February 2, 2022 through February 1, 2025.
Polydyne Inc. has agreed to extend the same pricing under the terms and conditions set forth in 22-B-08LS to the City. The annual cost of the Emulsified Polymer Clarifloc SE-1804 will be in an amount of $600,000.00.
The Director of the Department of Public Utilities and the Chief Procurement Officer recommend that the City Commission approve and authorize the execution of the attached Blanket Purchase Agreement with Polydyne Inc. for Emulsified Polymer Clarifloc SE-1804 in an amount of $600,000.00.
Fiscal Impact:
There is a companion resolution (budget amendment) that will allocate funding in account number 442.400601.53600.552330.000000.000.000 for the purchase of Emulsified Polymer Clarifloc.
