FILE NUMBER
Award a contract to Waterline Technologies for water treatment salt for a one-year period, with
provision for three, one-year renewals in the annual amount not to exceed $45,000, subject to
non-substantive changes approved by the City Manager and City Attorney.
DISCUSSION
The Public Works Water Resources Division produced 26,730 acre-feet of water last fiscal year
from 21 groundwater wells. In addition, another 12,454 acre-feet of treated water was purchased
from the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California 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.
This process ensures the City meets the California Department of Public Health public drinking
water regulations and makes the water potable for human consumption. Salt is purchased
through the Central Stores warehouse for distribution to the City Water Resources Division staff.
The contract provides a quality product at a significant savings based on quantity pricing.
The notice inviting bids was advertised on August 9, 2013, and bids were solicited. A summary

the City's requirements. The annual amount is based upon past usage and staffs projection for
the next contract period.
