CONSENT <br />ANALYSIS: <br />The low bid represents a 70% increase of $0.52 per gallon. Staff has,reviewed recent bids from <br />other municipalities and has confirmed that prices have been rising. Staff will continue to monitor <br />market pricing during the term of this award and use that information to determine whether <br />renewal or rebid is in the best interest of the County. <br />SOURCE OF FUNDS: <br />Funds for sulfuric acid are budgeted in the chemical account in the operating fund. Operating <br />funds are derived from water and sewer sales. The FY 2018/2019 budget included $134,000 for <br />acid that was based on the expiring bid's pricing of $0.74 per gallon, and therefore a budget <br />amendment is anticipated to be necessary in the future to cover the expected shortfall. <br />Account Number <br />Account Description <br />FY 18/19 <br />Proposed Budget <br />47121936-035230 <br />Wastewater Treatment — Chemicals <br />$134,000 <br />RECOMMENDATION: <br />Staff recommends the Board award bid 2019006 to Shrieve Chemical Company and authorize the <br />Purchasing Division to issue blanket purchase orders to the recommended bidder.
