Dear Sir:
On May 16, 2024, the Board of Commissioners authorized the Director of Procurement and Materials Management to advertise for bids Contract 24-639-11, Furnish and Deliver Process Water Chemicals.
In response to a public advertisement of July 3, 2024, a bid opening was held on July 23, 2024. The bid tabulation for this contract is:
GLOBAL WATER TECHNOLOGY, INC. $246,744.50
H-O-H WATER TECHNOLOGY, INC. $295,221.52
KURITA AMERICA, INC. $341,042.28
The quantities specified in the contract documents were used for the purpose of comparing bids and establishing unit prices. The total amount to be expended on this contract, should usage differ from the quantities, is not to exceed $353,000.00.
Global Water Technology, Inc., the lowest responsible bidder, is proposing to perform the contract in accordance with the specifications. The estimated cost for this contract is $353,000.00, placing the bid of $246,744.50 approximately 30.1 percent below the estimate.
The Multi-Project Labor Agreement (MPLA) was not included in this contract because it is a furnish and deliver contract.
The Affirmative Action Ordinance, Revised Appendix D and Appendix V will not be included in this contract because there are no subcontracting opportunities.
In view of the foregoing, it is recommended that the Director of Procurement and Materials Management be authorized to issue purchase orders for Contract 24-639-11 to Global Water Technology, Inc., in an amount not to exceed $353,000.00.
The contractor shall provide process water chemicals starting five calendar days after issuance of the purchase orders and terminate three years thereafter.
