AGENDA TITLE: Adopt Resolution Authorizing Purchase of Three Sodium Hypochlorite
Generator Cells from PSI Water Technologies, Inc., of Campbell, for On-site
Sodium Hypochlorite Generation at Surface Water Treatment Facility
($32,703)
MEETING DATE: April 17, 2019
PREPARED BY: Public Works Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Adopt Resolution Authorizing Purchase of three sodium
hypochlorite g enerator cells from PSI Water Technologies, Inc.,
of Campbell, for on-site sodium hypochlorite generation at
Surface Water Treatment Facility, in the amount of $32,703.
BACKGRUND INFORMATION: PSI Water Technologies, Inc. manufactured the chlorine generation
system installed at the City's Surface Water Treatment Facility
(SWTF). The purpose of the chlorine generation system is to
disinfect treated drinking water in accordance with state and federal standards. The system is made up
of five separate cells that safely generate chlorine on-site, which eliminates the need to transport and/or
store bulk quantities of the chemical. The typical life span of each cell is three to five years.
Two of the original five cells have been replaced. The remaining three cells have been in service since
2012 and will need to be replaced in the near future. Since the current lead time for delivering these
cells is at least four weeks, staff recommends purchasing the cells in advance to minimize SWTF
impacts over the high demand summer months. The new cells will be stored at the SWTF for immediate
replacement as needed.
PSI Water Technologies, Inc. is a sole source vendor. Per Lodi Municipal Code, Section 3.20.070,
Bidding, the bidding process may be dispensed when the commodity can be obtained from only one
vendor, due to need for branded replacement parts or supplies for equipment of like brand.
Staff recommends authorizing purchase of three sodium hypochlorite generator cells from PSI
Water Technologies, Inc., of Campbell, for on-site sodium hypochlorite generation at Surface
Water Treatment Facility, in the amount of $32,703.
FISCAL IMPACT: Funding for sodium hypochlorite generator cells is included in the Water
Operations budget. This project will not impact the General Fund.
