Body
Dear Sir:
Authorization is requested to make payment, by direct voucher, to WateReuse Association for the District’s 2023 membership dues in the amount of $16,725.00. The term of the District’s membership is January 1, 2023 to December 31, 2023.
The WateReuse Association is a nonprofit trade association for water utilities, businesses, industrial and commercial enterprises, and other nonprofit organizations that focuses solely on advancing laws, policies, and funding to increase water reuse. Their mission is to engage members in a national movement for safe and sustainable water supplies, to promote acceptance and support of recycled water, and to advocate for policies and funding that increase water reuse. The WateReuse Association collaborated with USEPA on the National Water Reuse Action Plan and continues to be a partner in the collaborative process to implement water reuse nationally.
Inasmuch as WaterReuse Association membership is not available through any other source, nothing would be gained by advertising for bids (Section 11.4 of the Purchasing Act).
It is hereby recommended that the Board of Commissioners authorize payment, by direct voucher, to WateReuse Association, in the amount of $16,725.00. Funds are available in Account 101-15000-612280.
Requested, Shellie A. Riedle, Administrative Services Officer, CO:PS
Recommended, Darlene A. LoCascio, Director of Procurement and Materials Management
Respectfully Submitted, Barbara J. McGowan, Chairman Committee on Procurement
