and US Peroxide LLC, in a combined annual amount up to $4,491,078.00 for the Water Department and authorize five one-year renewal

DISCUSSION:
The Water Department approached the Purchasing Division to procure agreements for chemical odor control services. The services are needed
to control the odor and reduce or eliminate the corrosion concerns within the wastewater collection system. In order to procure these services, staff
issued request for proposals (RFP) No. 21-0051. The RFP consisted of detailed specifications regarding the type of chemicals, delivery
and reporting. The RFP was advertised in the Fort Worth Star -Telegram on March 3, 2021, March 10, 2021, March 17, 2021 and March 24, 2021.
The City received six proposals.
Proposals were evaluated on Best Value criteria including the price, qualifications, methodology, and past performance. Staff from the Water and
Transportation Public Works Department evaluated the proposals submitted and recommend awarding Pencco, Inc., NRP Group, Inc., and US
Peroxide LLC dba USP Technologies with five one-year options to renew. No guarantee was made that a specific amount of these services will be
purchased. Funds will be distibuted as follows based on the chemical being provided:

OFFICE OF BUSINESS DIVERSITY (OBD): A waiver of the goal for M/WBE subcontracting requirements was requested by the Purchasing
Division and approved by the OBD, in accordance with the BIDE Ordinance, because the purchase of goods or services is from sources where
subcontracting or supplier opportunities are negligible.
ADMNISTRATIVE CHANGE ORDER: An administrative change order or increase may be made by the City Manager up to the amount allowed by
relevant law and the Fort Worth City Code and does not require specific City Council approval as long as sufficient funds have been appropriated.
AGREEMENT TERMS: Upon City Council approval, this agreement shall begin upon execution and expire one year from that date.
RENEWAL TERMS: This agreement may be renewed for five (5) additional one-year renewal periods. This action does not require specific City
Council approval provided that the City Council has appropriated sufficient funds to satisfy the City's obligations during the renewal term.
FISCAL INFORMATION / CERTIFICATION:
The Director of Finance certifies that funds are available in the current operating budget, as previously appropriated, in the Water & Sewer Fund to
support the approval of the above recommendation and execution of the agreements. Prior to any expenditure being incurred, the Water
