Chemicals are also required to maintain the various public <br />swimming pools and water fountains throughout the City. In addition, the <br />Public Works Agency uses chemicals to control the growth of algae in the <br />City's sewer system and water wells. The chemicals are purchased through <br />the Central Stores warehouse for distribution to the agencies. The <br />contracts for chemicals are designed to provide quality products at <br />significant savings based on quantity pricing. <br />On January 6, 2003, the City Council awarded a contract to Western Farm <br />Service, a Santa Ana vendor, for a two-year period with provision for <br />two one-year renewals. The vendor has agreed to renew the contract; <br />however, the vendor has requested a five percent increase due to <br />increases from the chemical manufacturers. The vendor has performed <br />satisfactorily during the past contract period and staff recommends the <br />final renewal of the contract. <br />FISCAL IMPACT <br />Funds are available in the various <br />Supplies accounts (object code 6391). <br />4 <br />`-~`~ ~ ilr ate- ~ ~~Q <br />Francisco Gutierre z <br />Executive Director <br />departmental Other Materials & <br />Finance and Management Services~Ltep`=va,~ <br />FG/WO/02-128R.2 :uc 1 ZA ?~ <br />
