LL Cityof CITY COUNCIL COMMUNICATION <br />Louisville AGENDA ITEM 513 <br />COLORADO • SINCE 1878 <br />SUBJECT: APPROVAL OF RESOLUTION NO. 9, SERIES 2024 — A <br />RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE PURCHASE FOR <br />WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT CHEMICALS <br />DATE: MARCH 5, 2024 <br />PRESENTED BY: KURT KOWAR, PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR <br />SUMMARY: <br />Staff recommends approval of Resolution No. 9, Series 2024 for the purchase of <br />polymer products used as part of the wastewater treatment process. <br />The City solicits annual bids for various treatment chemicals for water and wastewater. <br />One of these chemicals is a polymer product used to thicken wastewater biosolids prior <br />to hauling offsite. Without the use of polymer the treatment process would be less <br />effective in removing water from the waste stream increasing hauling costs. <br />Polymer prices have increased substantially in the last couple of years and staff have <br />focused on using polymer as efficiently as possible to maintain cost control. For 2024, <br />polymer expenditures are estimated at $120,000. The attached resolution will allow for <br />the purchase of polymer and maintain operations at the Wastewater Plant. <br />FISCAL IMPACT: <br />The 2024 budget (502472-522010) allocates $145,000 for all chemicals. The remaining <br />funds will be used for other wastewater chemicals. <br />RECOMMENDATION: <br />Staff recommends City Council approve the resolution to purchase polymer products at <br />$120,000. <br />ATTACHMENT(S): <br />1.
