BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
The Surface Water Treatment Facility (SWTF) requires various chemicals throughout the treatment process to produce potable water. Currently, the SWTF relies on Thatcher Chemical Company (“Thatcher”) for supply of a food grade salt to disinfect for drinking water.
The current contract was approved by Council in May of 2022 for a term of three years, with two optional one-year extensions. Over the first three years, Thatcher did not make any price adjustments, however, at this time, there is a modest 4% increase that will carry the City through the next year. In order to continue to provide water service to the City of Lodi’s residents without interruption, staff recommends authorizing the City Manager to Execute Amendment No. 1 with Thatcher Company of Salt Lake City, UT.
STRATEGIC VISION:
8. Public Well-Being.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Funding for chemical purchases is included in the Water Operations budget. This purchase will not impact the General Fund.
FUNDING AVAILABLE:
Water Operating Fund/ SWTF (56052005).
