EXPLANATION: The Water Treatment Facility uses quicklime for its water treatment process. This authorization provides for the purchase of quicklime, including supply and delivery.
Contract #11-25B was awarded to Lhoist North America by the City of Tamarac acting as the lead agency for the Southeast Florida Cooperative Group. The initial term of the contract is for three (3) years effective through October 31, 2014 with a provision for three (3) additional one (1) year renewals. The City of Tamarac has exercised the first renewal option through October 31, 2015.
Due to historically fluctuating cost, the contract allows for quarterly price adjustments for material and transportation. Price escalations and de-escalations are passed on to all eighteen (18) participating agencies, including Wellington. Cost adjustments reflect only a direct pass-through of costs, and no changes to the vendor's profit margin are permitted. Wellington's current unit cost is $244.51 per ton.
