BACKGROUND:
Liquid sodium hypochlorite is a disinfectant used at Water Treatment Plant No. 1 (WTP#1) to produce safe potable water. At Water Reclamation Facility No. 2 (WRF#2) and Water Reclamation Facility No. 3 (WRF#3), liquid sodium hypochlorite is used to produce safe reuse water.
On September 23, 2023, City Council awarded a two-year contract to Odyssey Manufacturing Company (Contract No. WRS/230584) for the supply of sodium hypochlorite to the City for these purposes. The initial term expired on September 30, 2025, and includes the option for two one-year renewals. On August 5, 2025, City Council approved the first of two one-year renewals with a termination date of September 30, 2026. This is the final renewal for this contract.
FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS:
The Water Resources Department is requesting approval of the second one-year renewal under WRS/230584. A 2.8% Customer Price Index (CPI) rate adjustment was added to the price per gallon in accordance with the terms of the original agreement. The price has increased from $1.79 per liquid gallon to $1.84 per liquid gallon.
Staff recommends approval of the final one-year renewal of WRS/230584 for a term beginning on October 1, 2026, and terminating on September 30, 2027.
