SUBJECT: General Manager Purchasing Authority Assessment For Foul Air Scrubber Cleaning Contract Award
The Foul Air Scrubber Contract expires in November 2025. A Foul Air Scrubber Cleaning RFP was issued through Planet Bids in early October, and interested vendors were notified of the ongoing procurement.
SOCWA received one (1) Proposal and Integrity Municipal Services is the best value to SOCWA.
According to Policy Number: Administration 1.715 Title: SOCWA Uniform Purchasing Policy, effective 12/12/2024, Section 4.2 Original Contracts, Contingencies and Renewals:
The Board of Directors hereby delegates to the General Manager the authority to award Contracts within specified limits as follows:
a. Contracts up to $100,000 per agreement year.
The contract for the Foul Air Scrubber Contract for each of the past five years totaled:
FY24-25 $58,624.00
FY23-24 $77,149.00
FY22-23 $67,456.00
FY21-22 $69,030.00
FY20-21 $58,032.19
These totals included RTP that will not be in the next contract.
The expected annual contract value for JBL and CTP is estimated at $46,194.00 per year.
The result is that the annual value for this proposed contract will be under $100,000 per year.
Under Section 4.2a, the General Manager is authorized to approve and execute the proposed contract.
As such, I recommend that the General Manager award and execute the contract.
