REQUEST:
Utility Department Requesting Approval to piggyback off of the City of Eustis contract with
Odyssey Manufacturing Company for the purchase of Sodium Hypochlorite (liquid
chlorine).
SYNOPSIS:
The purpose of this Board item is to request approval to piggyback off of the City of Eustis
contract with Odyssey Manufacturing Company for the purchase of sodium hypochlorite for
water and reclaimed water disinfection purposes at a cost of $0.74 per gallon which is the
same price as the last contract.
CONSIDERATIONS:
Sodium hypochlorite (liquid chlorine or bleach) is needed at the water and wastewater
plants for disinfection of the potable and reclaimed water, respectively. The City uses
approximately 130,000 gallons per year of sodium hypochlorite at these facilities.
On October 10, 2010, The City Commission authorized piggybacking the City of Eustis bid
with Odyssey Manufacturing Company for the purchase of sodium hypochlorite (liquid
chlorine) for 3 years. The Eustis contract has been extended for an additional three years at
the same price and staff is requesting that approval be granted to piggyback off of that
contract for the additional three year contract period. The Eustis contract is for a fixed price
of $0.74 per gallon through June 22, 2016. The price is consistent with what surrounding
communities are paying.
