BACKGROUND <br /> The Utilities Division of the Operations Services Department has been purchasing water <br /> quality laboratory testing supplies and equipment from HACH Company for over 20 <br /> years. A significant amount of the existing water sampling infrastructure in the Water <br /> Lab and in the field is built around and dependent upon HACH supplies. The <br /> replacement parts and reagents are designed to work with the HACH equipment that <br /> Utilities staff uses daily. <br /> The Utilities Division continuously looks foralternative testing and mon itoring equipment <br /> to ensure competitive pricing and to stay current with the latest technology offered by <br /> other suppliers. Hach equipment is still the best choice for the City's wells and turnout <br /> sites. This year we have seen an unprecedented rise in costs for all materials and Hach <br /> Company supplieswere no exception. The items needed to analyze the City's water are <br /> crucial to operations. Staff would like to increase the Agreement to allow funding forthe <br /> replacement equipment along with daily supplies needed to monitor and testthe water <br /> quality both in the Lab and in the field. <br /> Submitted by: Fiscal Review: Approved by: <br /> Tamara Baptista Susan Hsieh Gerry Beaudin <br /> Director of Operations and Director of Finance City Manager <br /> Water Utilities <br /> Attachment: <br /> 1.
