Three-Year Term Contract with Eight Years of Renewal Options for the Purchase and Maintenance of Two Ion Chromatographs (One Replacement and One Addition) for the Water Resources Department (Citywide) Water Resources is required to analyze microbial, inorganic, and organic compliance samples for the City’s water and wastewater programs. Testing is crucial as drinking water must meet water quality standards under the Safe Drinking Water Act. Wastewater must be tested to determine if it meets permits for discharge. Water Resources Compliance Laboratory is replacing one ion chromatograph that has reached the end of its service life and is no longer supported by the vendor. The second unit is being purchased to meet increased testing demands as the City has experienced significant system growth, since the original purchase of the first unit more than 20 years ago. A committee representing the Water Resources Department and Procurement Services evaluated responses and recommend awarding the contract to the highest-scored proposal from Brinkmann Instruments, Inc. dba Metrohm USA, Inc., Year 1 at $203,000, and Years 2 through 11 at $43,000 annually, based on estimated requirements.
