Rationale: This resolution replaces Resolution 17.4 “EXTENSION OF A GENERAL FUND SERVICE CONTRACT for the Chemical Treatment of Heating and Cooling Water Systems to Syntec Corporation, Contract No. 616117” approved at the stated meeting held on September 21, 2016. The September resolution is being rescinded via separate resolution at the November stated meeting because it was discovered that the original agreement did not have the appropriate extension clause required to permit an extension. A new Request for Quotes (RFQ) was issued in September.

It is noted that the original agreement was a quote for $27,200.00 under a requirements basis. Only $20,557.07 worth of services were required. The new RFQ price is now $14,975.00. The drop in price is due to the familiarity with the District that Syntec has developed and the reduced scope of work. Initial repairs were made to the systems under previous years do not need to be done under this quote.

This is to service and maintain the chemical water treatment program for the heating and cooling systems in 10 of the District schools. This will cover the treatment of boiler, feed, condensate, chilled water, condenser and closed loop hot water systems. This treatment is to limit corrosion, freeze ups and bacterial growth in the above systems.

An RFQ was issued to four select vendors (Syntec Corporation, B & C Control Service Inc., Clearwater Industries and Sound Water Treatment Center Inc.)
by Purchasing. Two vendors submitted quotes which were opened on October 2, 2017. The lowest price bid was by SYNTEC Corporation Water Management Group, 109 Rodgers Road, Wilmington Delaware, 19801. The second lowest responder is Sound Water Treatment with a quote of $32,119.00.

TERM OF CONTRACT – 365 Calendar Days up to October 31, 2018
Funding: 450.5150.100000.1620.B2300 Contractual $14,975.00.
