RECOMMENDED ACTION
Renew the contract with Gallade Chemical Inc. for water treatment salt for a one-year period in an
annual amount not to exceed $40,000.
DISCUSSION
The Public Works Agency Water Resources Division produced 35,274.6 acre-feet of water last fiscal
year from 21 groundwater wells and purchased another 5,860.6 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 requirements for safety, salt is used in a non-
hazardous disinfection process at the well sites. Central Stores at the Corporate Yard handles the
ordering and storing of the salt bags until requisitioned by PWA water crews. The contract for salt
provides quality products at a significant savings based on quantity pricing.
On April 7, 2008, the City Council awarded a contract to Gallade Chemical Inc. for a one-year period,
with provisions 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 2.15
percent price increase per sack as the results of rising cost of raw material. Staff verified the
increase is consistent with the market and the vendor continues to offer a competitive price. Staff
recommends the third renewal of the contract. The annual amount has been adjusted down by 11
percent based upon staff's projection for the next year.
FISCAL IMPACT
Funds are available in the Water Utility Production & Supply account (accounting unit 06017640-
63001).
