Resolution No.
STOCKTON CITY COUNCIL
RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING A CONTRACT WITH SNF POLYDYNE INC. FOR THE PURCHASE OF WASTEWATER TREATMENT POLYMER The Regional Wastewater Control Facility (RWCF) uses various polymers as part of the wastewater treatment processes; and Polymers are coagulants that thicken suspended solids in wastewater, making it easier to separate during the wastewater treatment process; and The type, quantity, and dosing rate of polymer used in the wastewater treatment process are dependent on the characteristics of the wastewater being treated. A product that works for one treatment plant may not work for another due to the varying nature of wastewater and the regulatory requirement to meet specific treatment criteria; and On August 1, 2024, an Invitation for Bid for a performance-based bid for the purchase of polymer for the Chemically Enhanced Treatment at the Stockton Regional Wastewater Control Facility (PUR 25-006) was advertised in The Record and the City’s Bid Flash; and Between August 19, 2024, and August 22, 2024, a performance-based bid including bench-scale testing by prospective bidders was used to determine their respective product effectiveness and dosage standards; and During the week of November 6, 2024, full-scale performance testing was held at the RWCF. However, one of the invited vendors decided not to participate in the testing; and On December 12, 2024, the City Clerk’s office received one sealed bid from SNF Polydyne, Inc. of Riceboro, Georgia, that was regular in all aspects with a cost of $1.35 per pound; now, therefore, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF STOCKTON, AS FOLLOWS:
The Specifications for the Invitation for Bids for Chemically Enhanced Treatment Polymer (PUR 25-006) are hereby accepted and attached as Exhibit 1 and incorporated by this reference.
The City Manager is authorized to execute a five-year contract with SNF Polydyne, Inc. of Riceboro, Georgia, to provide polymer at the Regional Wastewater Control Facility with a total not-to-exceed cost of $671,866, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 2 and incorporated by this reference.
The City Manager, or designee, is hereby authorized to take whatever actions are necessary and appropriate to carry out the purpose and intent of this Resolution.
PASSED, APPROVED, and ADOPTED April 1, 2025 .
