QUOTED BY: Mitch Berg SMITH ECOLOGICAL SYSTEMS COMPANY www.smithecological.com page 1 • REPORT "TO MAYOR &MEMBERS NOF CITY COUNCIL E LG I N THE CITY IN THE SUBURBS AGENDA ITEM: E MEETING DATE: November 2, 2011 ITEM: Sole Source Agreement with Smith Ecological Systems for a Slaker and Feeder Replacement at Airlite Street Water Treatment Plant ($124,300) OBJECTIVE: Replacing the lime slaker and feeder the Airlite Street Water Teatment Plant to provide the city with the ability to soften the water. RECOMMENDATION: Award a sole source contract for the purchase of a lime slaker and feeder to Smith Ecological rik Systems in the amount of$124,300. BACKGROUND Ninety-four percent of the city's water comes from the Fox River and the remaining six percent comes from the deep wells. Water pumped from either the river or deep wells is treated at the city's Riverside or Airlite water treatment plants. The water is treated and tested in accordance with U.S. Environmental Protection Agency regulations. The raw water undergoes a treatment process including coagulation/sedimentation, lime softening, chlorination and filtration. The water is then softened to a moderate hardness level using a chemical precipitation process in- volving quick-pebble lime (calcium oxide). The feeder delivers the chemical in specific amounts to the slaker which makes the lime into a solution that is easily added to the water. The lime precipitates out the hardness causing minerals leaving moderately soft water to leave the treatment plant. After treatment, Elgin's water is less corrosive or scaling and the water re- quires no additional treatment at resident's homes. OPERATIONAL ANALYSIS Lime is very corrosive in nature and the exposure of the metal equipment to the lime takes its toll. The lime slakers and feeders used in the softening process at the Airlite Water Treatment Plant are corroded to the point of failure. Identical models are available in stainless steel con- struction, which will prolong the useable life of these critical pieces of equipment indefinitely. The replacement of these machines was anticipated and planned for as part of the ongoing im- provements at the Airlite Water Treatment Plant. This equipment is a direct replacement and requires no additional modification or expense to install. There is only one manufacturer of this equipment and therefore is a sole source replacement. INTERESTED PERSONS CONTACTED None. FINANCIAL ANALYSIS Staff recommends awarding the contract for the purchase of a lime slaker and feeder to Smith Ecological Systems in the amount of $124,300. As this was planned to be part of the improve- ments completed at the Airlite Water Treatment Plant, funds were budgeted in the 2011 water operating budget. BUDGET IMPACT FUND(S) ACCOUNT(S) PROJECT#(S) AMOUNT AMOUNT BUDGETED AVAILABLE Water Operating 401-4002-771.91-46 409756 $125,000 $125,000 LEGAL IMPACT '41) None. ALTERNATIVES The city council may choose not to replace the equipment with a direct replacement or at all, thereby limiting the water department's ability to treat the water. NEXT STEPS 1. Executive contract documents. 2. Order the equipment. 3. Installation of equipment by water department staff. J i�► 2 Originators: Kyla B.
