DISCUSSION
The Parks, Recreation and Community Services Agency requires various
fertilizers to sustain abundant plant growth in the City's parks.
Chemicals are also required to maintain the various public swimming pools
and water fountains throughout the City. In addition, the Public Works
Agency uses chemicals to control the growth of algae in the City's sewer
system and water wells. The fertilizers and water treatment chemicals
are purchased through the Central Stores warehouse for distribution to the
agencies. The contracts for fertilizers and water treatment chemicals are
designed to provide quality products at significant savings based on
quantity pricing.
On July 5, 2005, the City Council awarded contracts to Waterline
Technologies, Inc., a Santa Ana vendor, and Target Specialty Products for a
one-year period with provision for one, one-year renewal. The vendors have
agreed to renew the contract; however, Target Specialty Products has
requested a nineteen percent increase due to increases from the chemical
manufacturers. Staff verified that this increase is competitive with the
current market. Waterline Technologies, Inc. has agreed to renew the
contract without an increase in pricing. The vendors have performed
satisfactorily during the past contract period and staff recommends the
final renewal of the contract.
