RECOMMENDED ACTION
Renew the contract with Gallade Chemical Inc. for water treatment salt for cone-year period in an
annual amount not to exceed $45,000.
DISCUSSION
The Public Works Agency Water Resources Division produced 35,274.6 acre-feet of water last fiscal
year from 21 groundwater wells and purchased another 5,860.6 acre-feet of treated water from the
Metropolitan Water District for delivery to businesses and residents in Santa Ana. In compliance with
the National Sanitation Foundation Standard 60 requirements for safety, salt is used in a non-
hazardous disinfection process at the well sites.
On April 7, 2008, the City Council awarded a contract to Gallade Chemical Inc. for cone-year period,
with provisions for four one-year renewals. The vendor has performed satisfactorily during the past
contract period and has agreed to renew the contract; however the vendor has requested a 6.3
percent price increase per sack after holding their pricing for two years due to the rising cost of raw
material. Staff verified the increase is consistent with the market and the vendor continues to offer a
competitive price. Staff recommends the second renewal of the contract. The annual amount is
based upon past usage and staff's projection for the next year.
FISCAL IMPACT
Funds are available in the Water Utility Production & Supply account (accounting unit 06017640-
63001
