Title
Consider and take action on a resolution authorizing a one-year renewal agreement with Polydyne, Inc. for Polyacrylamide Cationic Emulsion Liquid Polymer at a unit price of $1.64 per pound in an amount not to exceed $94,300 (Director of Public Works)
Background:
Approval of this item will authorize a one-year renewal agreement with Polydyne, Inc. for the purchase of Polyacrylamide Cationic Emulsion Liquid Polymer from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027, in an amount not to exceed $94,300 with the option to renew for one (1) additional one-year period.
This product is used for municipal wastewater sludge conditioning in the dewatering process at the City’s Dallas Salmon Wastewater Treatment Plant (DSWWTP) and Southwest Water Reclamation Facility (SWWRF). Polymer acts as a flocculant agent in the solids/water separation of digested sludge, significantly increasing the water removal efficiency, reducing the overall volume of sludge disposal, therefore reducing costs.
On September 26, 2023 Council approved a three-year agreement with Polydyne, Inc. Request for Proposal (RFP) #23-037 from October 1, 2023 through September 30, 2026 in a total not to exceed amount of $282,900, with the option to renew for two (2) additional one-year periods.
Polydyne, Inc. has agreed to the terms of this renewal and Staff’s recommendation is to renew the agreement for polyacrylamide cationic emulsion liquid polymer based on stellar service and product quality history.
