The new filter media and chemical feed <br />equipment is required for radium removal. Council approved a plan to reduce radium to below EPA <br />maximum contaminate levels at Water Treatment Plants 3 and 3A on December 13, 2005. See past <br />Council report 05-267 if addition background information is desired. <br /> <br />Under this quotation we are purchasing Tonka IMAR filter media, a special gradation of sands and <br />support gravels for the filtration tanks and pre-assembled TonkaBlend boards, which include all valves, <br />piping and instrumentation to carry out the operational modes associated with feeding the HMO <br />chemical for radium removal. The quotation includes filter media and chemical feed equipment for two <br />filters plus field services for supervision of the installation of the filter media and start-up of the <br />TonkaBlend chemical feed system. The actual installation of the chemical feed equipment boards and <br />filter media will be done by Public Works personnel or other contractual services. <br /> <br />The quotation from Tonka Equipment Company for the filter media, chemical feed equipment and field <br />supervision is $49,863.30. Tonka Equipment Company is the sole source for the filter media and <br />chemical feed equipment we have specified and therefore they are the only bidder. <br /> <br />The estimated cost for the filter media and chemical feed equipment was $60,000. The filter media and <br />chemical feed equipment, as well as all other cost associated with the radium reduction plan will be paid <br />for from the City Water Utility fund. <br /> <br />RECOMMENDATION: <br /> <br />To approve the quotation from Tonka Equipment Company in the amount of $49,863.30 for filter media <br />and chemical feed equipment for Water Treatment Plants 3 and 3A . <br /> <br />~ Pl'-O~ <br />Leslie Proper, Public Works Director <br /> <br />1:\COUNCIL\REPORTS\2006\Engineering\media and chern feed quote for wtps 3 and 3a.doc <br />
