ITEM SUMMARY:

Hydrated Lime is one of the various chemicals used at the City's Water Treatment Plant.  Approximately
1,300 tons of Hydrated Lime are used annually. Hydrated Lime is the key component to City's water
softening process. Hydrated lime reacts with existing bicarbonate salts (Calcium, Magnesium, and most
importantly, Radium) and converts them to insoluble carbonate salts, thus removing them to a great
degree from the treated water.

A Notice to Bidders was advertised in the Daily Herald on September 26, 2024, as well as on the online
bidding platform, QuestCDN, and sealed bids were opened on October 17, 2024. Two (2) bids received.
The results are below.

$471,237.00 ($362.49/ton delivered). This represents a 12.38% increase over FY 2024 unit prices
($322.54/tons delivered). The increase is largely attributed to the market supply and demand for this
