A RESOLUTION OF THE LODI CITY COUNCIL AUTHORIZING
PURCHASE OF ALUMINUM CHLOROHYDRATE FOR THE SURFACE
WATER TREATMENT FACILITY FOR FISCAL YEAR 2013/14 FROM
SOLE SOURCE CALCHEM COMPANY, OF MODESTO
WHEREAS, the Surface Water Treatment Facility operation requires the
purchase of several different chemicals commonly used to treat municipal drinking
water. Aluminum chlorohydrate (ACH) is required for the treatment process to meet total
organic carbon removal requirements established by the California Department of Public
Health; and

located approximately 42 miles from the Surface Water Treatment Facility in Modesto,
CA. This close proximity minimizes freight costs, in addition to providing a lower cost by
purchasing directly from the manufacturer versus a chemical supplier; and
WHEREAS, per Lodi Municipal Code Section 3.20.070, Bidding, the bidding
process may be dispensed when the City Council determines that the purchase or
method of purchase is in the best interest of the City.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Lodi City Council does hereby
