RESOLUTION ACCEPTING BIDS AND AWARDING THE CONTRACT
FOR WATER TREATMENT CHEMICALS TO HAWKINS, INC.
Proposed Action
Staff recommends adoption of the following motion: Move to accept bids for water
treatment chemicals and award the contract to Hawkins, Inc.
Passage of this motion completes contract actions for the purchase of water treatment
chemicals by the Operations & Maintenance Department for 2011.
Overview
The department solicits bids annually for its water treatment chemicals. The chemicals
in the bid package provide for disinfection of the water and distribution system,
oxidation and removal of iron and manganese, and fluoridation of the water to meet
state standards.
Three vendors submitted bids for water treatment chemicals. Two of the vendors did
not submit bids for all of the chemicals as detailed in the specifications and were
removed from consideration. Hawkins, Inc. was the only bidder for all the chemicals.
Award of the contract is based on lowest aggregate bid for the group of chemicals in the
bid package. Chemical prices for 2011 show a decrease in comparison with 2010
prices.
Notices to bidders were published on September 23, 2010 and sealed bids were
opened on November 5, 2010.
Staff recommends acceptance of the bids and award of the contract.
Primary Issues to Consider
• Necessity of water treatment chemicals. Use of these chemicals is required to
comply with the federal Safe Drinking Water Act and state requirements.
• Purchasing from a single vendor. Simplifies ordering, assures product quality, and
reduces the administrative workload for staff.
Supporting Information
• A co. • the •'• tabu -tion and bid itemization are attached.

RESOLUTION ACCEPTING BIDS AND AWARDING THE CONTRACT
FOR POTASSIUM ORTHOPHOSPHATE TO DPC INDUSTRIES, INC.
Proposed Action
Staff recommends adoption of the following motion: Move to accept bids for potassium
orthophosphate and award the contract to DPC Industries, Inc.
Passage of this motion completes contract actions for the purchase of water treatment
chemicals by the Operations & Maintenance Department for 2011.
Overview
Due to the economy and resulting fluctuation in chemical prices in the water treatment
industry, the department has begun to solicit bids annually for potassium
orthophosphate. This chemical acts as an inhibitor for the reintroduction of ferrous
metals into the water distribution system.
Four vendors submitted bids for potassium orthophosphate. Award of the contract is
based on lowest cost per pound. DPC Industries, Inc. was the lowest responsible
bidder for the potassium orthophosphate. Bid prices in 2011 show a slight decrease
from those in 2010.
A notice to bidders was published on September 23, 2010 and sealed bids were
opened on November 5, 2010.
Staff recommends acceptance of the bid and award of the contract.
Primary Issues to Consider
• Necessity of potassium orthophosphate. Lakeville's treated water tends to leach
ferrous metals from the distribution system to replace the metals removed during
treatment. Potassium orthophosphate inhibits the water's ability to leach metals and
lowers lead and copper levels in the delivered potable water.
Supporting Information
• A copy of the bid t -_ lation and bid itemization are attached.
