WHEREAS, the Allen Water Treatment Plant utilizes Aluminum sulfate, or alum,
as a primary coagulant to remove sediment from its drinking water supply; and
WHEREAS, the Allen Water Treatment Plant utilizes Liquid Ammonium Sulfate,
to adjust the pH levels of treated water to maintain the pH which in turn assists in ensuring
that drinking water remain safe within the distribution system by mitigating harmful
constituents, such as lead and copper, from leaching into the drinking water supply; and
WHEREAS, the Allen Water Treatment Plant utilizes Sodium Hypochlorite as a
primary water disinfectant during the water treatment process, and acts as an oxidizing
agent for organics, and its use is mandated by the Colorado Department of Public Health
and Environment; and
WHEREAS, the Utilities Department recommends utilizing PVS DX Inc. for the
purchase of Sodium Hypochlorite and Chemtrade Chemicals US LLC for the purchases of
Liquid Ammonium Sulfate and for the aluminum sulfate purchases during the 2026
calendar year because each is a local vendor, which is critical for delivery responsiveness
and allows for less lead time when orders are placed; supplies chemicals to the Allen Water
Treatment Plant and the South Platte Renew facility, who utilize the chemicals for water
and wastewater treatment, respectively; and each is awarding optimal source purchase
orders for the City, which are competitively bid or negotiated agreements utilized by
various municipalities and the State of Colorado to take advantage of the pricing structure
negotiated by the State through the cooperative bidding process; and
