In addition, the Public Works <br />Agency uses chemicals to control the growth of algae in the City's sewer <br />system and water wells. The fertilizers and water treatment chemicals <br />are purchased through the Central Stores warehouse for distribution to the <br />agencies. The contracts for fertilizers and water treatment chemicals are <br />designed to provide quality products at significant savings based on <br />quantity pricing. <br /> <br />On July 5, 2005, the City Council awarded contracts to Waterline <br />Technologies, Inc., a Santa Ana vendor, and Target Specialty Products for a <br />one-year period with provision for one, one-year renewal. The vendors have <br />agreed to renew the contract; however, Target Specialty Products has <br />requested a nineteen percent increase due to increases from the chemical <br />manufacturers. Staff verified that this increase is competitive with the <br />current market. Waterline Technologies, Inc. has agreed to renew the <br />contract without an increase in pricing. The vendors have performed <br />satisfactorily during the past contract period and staff recommends the <br />final renewal of the contract. <br /> <br />22A-1 <br />
