Title
Consider and take action on a resolution authorizing an agreement with Vapex Environmental Technologies, dba Govapex for the replacement of the odor control system at the Dallas Salmon Wastewater Treatment Plant (DSWWTP) Lift Station in an amount not to exceed $124,000 (Director of Public Works)
Background:
Approval of this item will authorize an agreement with Vapex Environmental Technologies, dba Govapex for the replacement of the odor control system at the Dallas Salmon Wastewater Treatment Plant (DSWWTP) Lift Station in an amount not to exceed $124,000.
The existing system was installed in 2016 and is obsolete and beyond economical repair. The proposed replacement will consolidate the existing 3500 and Nano units into one Milli unit, reducing replacement costs. This system is needed to control hydrogen sulfide (H2S) levels and odors around the headworks and surrounding neighborhood.
Sole-source procurement is needed to obtain a direct-fit replacement from the existing manufacturer that uses the same odor control process and requires no modifications to the existing installation.
Pursuant to Texas Local Government Code § 252.022(a)(2) and (3), this procurement is exempt from the competitive purchasing requirements of Chapter 252 (2) a procurement necessary to preserve or protect the public health or safety of the municipality’s residents and (3) a procurement necessary because of unforeseen damage to public machinery, equipment, or other property.
Staff recommends approval of the replacement of the odor control system at the DSWWTP in an amount not to exceed $124,000.
