BACKGROUND:
Liquid sodium hypochlorite is a disinfectant used at Water Treatment Plant No. 1 (WTP No. 1) to produce safe potable water. At Water Reclamation Facility No. 2 (WRF No. 2) and Water Reclamation Facility No. 3 (WRF No. 3), liquid sodium hypochlorite is used to produce safe reuse water.

On September 23, 2023, City Council awarded a three 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 expires September 30, 2025 and includes the option for two one-year renewals.

FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS:
The Water Resources Department is requesting approval of the first one-year renewal under WRS/230584. A 2.3% 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 $1.75 per liquid gallon to $1.79 per liquid gallon.
Staff recommends approval of the one-year renewal of WRS/230584 for a term beginning on October 1, 2025, and terminating on September 30, 2026. Thereafter, one additional one-year renewal option will remain.

Funding for this contract is budgeted in Fiscal Year 2025-26 in the following account strings:

* WTP No. 1: 455-030-301-533-53-52010 $185,000
