AN ORDINANCE AUTHORIZING A ONE-YEAR CONTRACT EXTENSION AND ADDITIONAL FUNDING IN THE AMOUNT OF $460,000.00 UNDER CONTRACT NO. UW24-23 – POWDERED ACTIVATED CARBON WITH ARQ PURIFICATIONS LLC F/K/A CARBPURE TECHNOLOGIES, LLC FOR A TOTAL AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $920,000.00, FOR THE OFFICE OF PUBLIC UTILITIES
Ordinance No. 036-02-24 accepted Contract UW24-23 in an amount not to exceed $460,000.00 with CarbPure Technologies LLC (“CarbPure”) for the purchase of powdered activated carbon. CarbPure has become Arq Purifications LLC. This Ordinance extends the contract through February 28, 2026, for the additional cost of $460,000.00 and increases the total amount payable under the said contract to $920,000.00. All other contract terms remain the same, including the original prices quoted under the original contract. CWLP inquired with another city that uses powdered activated carbon and found they are paying more per ton. It was determined that bidding out a new contract would most likely cost the Utility more; therefore, it is in the City’s best interest to extend the current contract vs. rebidding. Powdered activated carbon is used to control taste and odor and remove trace agricultural chemicals. Maximum removal is crucial for the City's drinking water. The annual usage of powdered activated carbon is approximately 200 tons. In the event of a large taste and odor event, an additional load of 20 tons of the high-premium product was added to the total bid for an additional cost of $54,000.00. Arq Purification formally known as Carbpure Technologies provided a competitive unit cost and had the most favorable product performance testing results at our capable feed rates for the original contract.

Ordinance No. 016-01-22 awarded Contract UW22-11-67 to Linde, Inc. for purchasing carbon dioxide for the water purification plant in the total amount of $166,500.00 for a one-year term. The contract allowed for additional one-year extensions, if mutually agreed to, at the cost of $166,500.00 each. Ordinance No. 504-12-22 and Ordinance No. 016-01-24 both authorized an extension of the contract by one additional year each for the additional cost of $166,500.00 each. This Ordinance extends the contract through February 28, 2026, for the additional cost of $166,500.00 and increases the total amount payable under the said contract to $666,000.00. All other contract terms remain the same, including the original prices quoted in 2022. CWLP made inquiries with other cities that use carbon dioxide and found they are paying significantly more per ton. It was determined that bidding out a new contract would most likely cost the Utility more; therefore, it is in the City’s best interest to extend the current contract vs. rebidding. Carbon Dioxide is used to remove the excess alkalinity from lime-softened water, a standard requirement for regulating the stability of water softened by lime. Sufficient carbon dioxide is required to treat potable water to provide continuous recarbonation. Annual usage will be approximately 900 tons. Linde, Inc. was the low bidder for the original contract. Linde, Inc. is not a local vendor.

This is a standard, recurring ordinance for purchasing a supply of hydrogen and renting a dock for Dallman Generation Station. Dallman Power Plant Unit 4 requires hydrogen for turbine cooling during operation. Without hydrogen, Unit 4’s generator would have to be shut down. This Ordinance authorizes the purchase and delivery of hydrogen and the rental of hydrogen storage systems from Airgas USA, LLC (“Airgas”) under a five-year contract in an amount not to exceed $641,360.00. The hydrogen will be purchased based upon the Commodity Price Index URBAN Index prices in effect on November 1, 2024, with a review of said prices at 6-month intervals.

Historically, other vendors have been unable to provide a storage system for hydrogen and, furthermore, have been unwilling to supply this product due to liability concerns resulting from said vendors having to fill a vessel owned, hydrostatically tested, and certified by another entity. Under the last contract, the supply of hydrogen and dock rental covered Unit Nos. 31, 32, 33, and Unit 4 for a total of $1,102,860.00 for a five-year term.
