A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
SEAL BEACH AWARDING A CONTRACT AND
AUTHORIZING THE DISPENSING OF BIDDING FOR AN ON-
SITE SODIUM HYPO-CHLORITE GENERATION SYSTEM
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SEAL BEACH DOES HEREBY RESOLVE:
Section 1. In 1999, the City's Water Department switched from a chlorine gas method to
chlorinate the City's water supply to an on-site sodium hypo-chlorite generation system. On-site
generation provides the City the power of chlorine gas without the danger of storing or handling
hazardous materials while providing a safe, efficient and economical alternative. It operates
automatically requiring only water, salt and electricity. In order for the system to function more
efficiently and reduce the transporting of liquid brine from other stations because of high water
demand, a new system is needed. Severn Trent Water Purification, Inc is the sole manufacturer
and producer of the Chlotec sodium hypo-chlorite generation system.
Section 2. Pursuant to Section 3.2~:025 oqhe Seal Beach Municipal Code, the purchase of a
commodity is exempt from the bid requirements of Chapter 3.20 of the Municipal Code where
such commodity can be obtained only from one vendor. Further, pursuant to Section 3.20.045 of
the Seal Beach Municipal Code, the city council may award a contract for the purchase of
supplies and equipment without satisfaction of Chapter 3.20's bid requirements upon making a
finding that, due to the circumstances applicable to the patiicular purchase, the net cost to the
city will be reduced by dispensing with bidding. Moreover, pursuant to Section 1010 of the
Official Charter of the City of Seal Beach, the City Council may declare and detennine that in its
opinion, based upon estimates provided by the City Manager, supplies or material may be
purchased more economically on the open market.
Section 3. Based upon the foregoing and the infol1nation contained in the staff report, and in
accordance with Sections 3.20.025 and 3.20.045 ofthe Seal Beach Municipal Code, the Council
finds, declares and determines that the purchase of the on-site sodium hypo-chlorite generation
system is exempt from the bid requirements of Chapter 3.20 of the Municipal Code because such
commodity can be obtained only from one vendor and that, due to the circumstances applicable
to the particular purchase, the net cost to the city will be reduced by dispensing with bidding.
Section 4. The City Council hereby approves the contract between the City atld Severn Trent
Water Purification, Inc dated August _, 2004, and directs the City Manager to execute the
contract on behalf of the City.
