Authorization
REQUEST: Utility Department Requesting Approval to piggyback off of The City of
Mulberry Florida's contract with Odyssey Manufacturing Company for the
purchase of sodium hypochlorite.
PURPOSE: The purpose of this Board item is to request approval to piggyback off of The City
of Mulberry Florida's contract with Odyssey Manufacturing Company for the
purchase of sodium hypochlorite at a cost of $0.65 per gallon for the water
disinfection at the water and wastewater treatment facilities.
CONSIDERATIONS:
This agenda item is needed for the purchase of liquid chlorine (sodium
hypochlorite) for the disinfection of potable water and reclaimed water. The City
has three water plants and two water reclamation facilities of which all but Water
Treatment Plant #1 on Northern Way have been converted to liquid chlorine from
gas chlorine disinfection. Gas chlorine is much more difficult to deal with than
liquid should a leak occur. Due to the high hydrogen sulfide in the WTP# 1 raw
water, conversion to liquid chlorine will occur when the forced draft aeration and
scrubbers are added some time in the future
Odyssey Manufacturing Company is our current provider of liquid chlorine.
They were the low bidder and entered into a contract with the City of Mulberry
which became effective on June 1,2005 and extends through September 30, 2006
with two one year renewals. The purchase price is $0.65 per gallon and is
guaranteed for the term of the contract. Odyssey Manufacturing Company has
supplied the City of Winter Springs sodium hypochlorite for the past 4 years and is
the only manufacture of 12% sodium hypochlorite in the state of Florida.
