Title
Consider and take action on a resolution authorizing a one-year renewal agreement with Fort Bend Services, Inc. for Polyacrylamide Cationic Emulsion Liquid Polymer at a unit price of $1.32 per pound for a total amount not to exceed $74,149.02 (Director of Public Works)
Background:
Approval of this resolution will authorize the City Manager to execute an agreement with Fort Bend Services, Inc. for the purchase of Polyacrylamide Cationic Emulsion Liquid Polymer from August 28, 2018 to August 27, 2019.
On August 22, 2017, City Council approved a one-year contract with Fort Bend Services for the period August 28, 2017 through August 27, 2018, with the option to renew for two (2) additional one-year periods, for an amount not to exceed $74,149.02. This would be the first of two renewals. This renewal reflects a 17 percent increase in cost per pound. Fort Bend Services maintains a stellar service and product quality history.
This commodity is used for municipal wastewater sludge conditioning and mechanical dewatering at the City of League City’s wastewater treatment facilities; Dallas Salmon Wastewater Treatment Plant (DSWWTP) and Southwest Water Reclamation Facility (SWWRF). It acts as a flocculent 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.
