Title
Centennial Park Aquatic Center Bulk Chlorine Purchase for 2018, 2019 and the option of extending for 2020
History
Staff sought out quotes for the purchase and delivery of bulk liquid chlorine for Centennial Park Aquatic Center. Pricing quotes were received from our current vendor, Mineral Masters of West Chicago, IL and Univar of Downers Grove, IL. Mineral Masters pricing for an eighteen (18) percent solution was $1.18 per gallon with a two-year price lock. Univar pricing for a fifteen (15) percent solution (they do not offer an 18%) is $1.10 per gallon. Univar did not offer a price lock. Staff does prefer the 18% solution in keeping the pools chemically balanced. While the product does degrade, the turnover rate in which we utilize the chlorine benefits us in maintaining required levels. Staff recommends entering into a contract with Mineral Masters of West Chicago, IL for 2018 and 2019 with the possible extension to 2020, provided pricing does not increase more than 5%.
On February 5, 2018, this item was reviewed by the Parks & Recreation Committee, recommended for approval, and referred to the Village Board of Trustees for consideration.
Financial Impact
Materials are budgeted and funds are available in Centennial Park Aquatic Center accounts
Recommended Action/Motion
I move to approve the pricing from Mineral Masters for bulk Chlorine (18%) purchase and delivery at a rate not to exceed $1.18 per gallon for the years 2018 and 2019 with the possibility of extending into 2020, provided pricing does not increase more than 5%.
