FILE NUMBER
Renew the contract with Gallade Chemical, Inc. for water treatment salt for
a one-year period in an annual amount not to exceed $45,000.
DISCUSSION
Last fiscal year, the Public Works Agency Water Resources Division produced
43,004 acre-feet of water from 22 groundwater wells and purchased another
8,517 acre-feet of treated water from the Metropolitan Water District for
delivery to businesses and residents in Santa Ana. In compliance with the
National Sanitation Foundation Standard 60 requirement for safety, salt is
used in a non-hazardous disinfection process at the well sites.
On April 7, 2008, the City Council awarded a contract to Gallade Chemical,
Inc., a Santa Ana vendor, for a one-year period with provision for four
one-year renewals. The vendor has performed satisfactorily during the past
contract period and has agreed to renew the contract; however, the vendor
has requested a ten percent price increase due to the rising costs of
transportation and materials. Staff verified that the increase is
consistent with the market and the vendor continues to offer a competitive
price. Staff recommends the first renewal of the contract. The annual
amount is based upon past usage and staff's projection for the next year.
