Technologies,Premier Magnesia,LLC, Kemira Water Solutions, Inc., and Chemtrade Chemicals US,LLC,in the
Amount Up to$3,960,000.00 for the Initial Term for Odor Control Services for the Water Department (ALL

for the Water Department.
DISCUSSION:
The Water Department will use these contracts to provide odor control products and services in Field Operations
wastewater collection systems and the Village Creek Reclamation Facility (Village Creek Wastewater Treatment
Plant) on an as needed basis.
RFP ADVERTISEMENT—A Request for Proposals (RFP)was advertised in the Fort Worth Star—Telegram
every Wednesday from October 21, 2015 through November 18, 2015. The evaluation factors consisted of
customer service,product quality and performance, monitoring systems or data availability and proposed
contract price. Sixteen vendors were solicited from the purchasing vendor database system; seven responses
were received. The proposals were reviewed by an evaluation committee consisting of staff from the Water
Department Field Operations and Village Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant. The proposals from D3W
Industries,NRP Group, Inc.,U.S. Peroxide,LLC d/b/a USP Technologies,Premier Magnesia,LLC,Kemira
Water Solutions,Inc., and Chemtrade Chemicals US,LLC, were determined to present the best value to the
City.
PRICE ANALYSIS —Prices under these contracts present an overall 1.24 percent increase than previously
awarded on November 15, 2011 (M&C P-11325). No guarantee was made that a specific amount of goods and
services would be purchased. However,Water Department may spend up to $3,960,000.00 with the contractors
during the initial term of this Agreement.
ADMINISTRATIVE CHANGE ORDER—An administrative change order or increase may be made by the City
Manager in the amount of up to $50,000.00 and does not require specific City Council approval as long as
sufficient funds have been appropriated.
CONTRACT TERMS —Upon City Council's approval,the contracts will begin upon complete execution and
expire on January 25, 2017.
RENEWAL OPTIONS —These contracts may be renewed for up to four successive one—year periods under the
same terms and conditions. The renewals will not require City Council approval provided that the City Council
has appropriated sufficient funds to satisfy the City's obligations during the renewal term.
M/WBE OFFICE—A waiver of the goal for MBE/SBE subcontracting requirements was requested by the
Purchasing Division and approved by the M/WBE office, in accordance with the BDE ordinance, because the
purchase of goods or services is from sources where subcontracting or supplier opportunities are negligible.
FISCAL INFORMATION/CERTIFICATION:
The approval of this action provides purchasing authority up to $3,960,000.00. The Financial Management
Services Director certifies that funds are available in the current operating budget, as appropriated, of the Water
Department and that prior to an expenditure being made, the participating Department has the responsibility to
validate the availability of funds.
