Body
Staff Recommends: Approval of the Attached Resolution.
Explanation:
The City of Hollywood, Department of Public Utilities operates a Water Treatment Plant (WTP), located at 3441 Hollywood Blvd., Hollywood, Florida, which delivers drinking water to residents, businesses and large users.
The City of Hollywood Water Treatment Plant operates an on-site Electrolytic Sodium Hypochlorite Generation System producing 0.8% concentration of sodium hypochlorite, which is an integral part of the water treatment and purification process.
The 0.8% sodium hypochlorite produced at the Water Treatment Plant is mainly stored in nine (9) fiberglass reinforced plastic (FRP) storage tanks, seven (7) of which are ten thousand (10,000) gallon capacity tanks and the remaining two (2) of which are seven thousand (7,000) gallon capacity tanks.
In order to maintain operational efficiency and reliability, these storage tanks require repairs which include re-seaming the joints, resin coating of sidewalls and ends, replacement of nozzles and resealing the man-way.
The Department of Public Utilities solicited written quotations from qualified vendors detailing the repair work to be performed on one (1) ten thousand (10,000) gallon tank.
Written quotations were received from three (3) qualified vendors as follows;
Carbon Silica Services, LLC $23,861.00
d/b/a Diamond Services
Victoria, TX
The Dumont Company $44,500.00
Oviedo, FL
Odyssey Manufacturing Company $60,000.00
Tampa, FL
In an attempt to do repair versus replacement evaluation, the Department of Public Utilities received estimates of approximately $200,000.00 for a tank replacement as compared to the repair estimate of $23,861.00 from Diamond Services, who was determined to be the lowest responsive and responsible bidder.
Prior to the actual start of any physical repairs, Carbon Silica Services, LLC d/b/a Diamond Services, requires that their standard terms and conditions of sale be considered part of the proposal and that the City agree to indemnify them, which requires City Commission approval.
The Director of Public Utilities and the Director of Procurement Services recommend the issuance of a Purchase Order in an amount not to exceed $23,861.00 for fiberglass surface repair and restoration services on one (1) ten thousand (10,000) gallon tank at the City of Hollywood Water Treatment Plant.
Award is subject to the City receiving all insurance required and approved by the City’s Risk Manager.
Funding for this purchase is available in the Department of Public Utilities Account Number 42.4000.75392.536.005224.
