Subject:
Discussion and possible action to ratify the award of an emergency contract in the amount of $190,000 to Environmental Improvement Inc. for the purchase of an Ultra Violet Treatment System for the Rio Bravo Treatment plant and initiate product manufacture for the installation of required enhanced treatment; and grant the exemption to competitive bidding pursuant to Texas Local Government Code 262.024 Discretionary Exemption Sole source (a), (7), (D). [Requested by Adrian Montemayor, Water Utilities Director; Account #745-3001-8801-7 (Water Utilities Imp. 2013)]



Issue: UV Disinfection was initially designed into the original plant. For unknown reason this system was never operated or maintained and fell into permanent disrepair. The system is not absolute and a new system is required to comply with the new Long Term 2 Enhanced Treatment Rule requiring additional treatment techniques for our plant.  This will require new reactors at a cost of $190,000, construction costs for the installation of $250,000 and a recommended $63,000 for 3 years annual maintenance and warranty.    
                                            
Solution:  Sole source acquisition of the Wedeco UV Reactors, hiring of local contractor with experience in the field of UV installation.
                                                           
Result:  Compliance with the new TCEQ enhanced treatment rule, and prevent continuous Public Notice.
