AGENDA ITEM NO. 6: Consider Bids.
a. 3,000 Gram/Hour Negative Pressure Ozone Generating System (award)
Before voting on this item, Mr. Kirby B. Rowland, Vice President and Manager of the Environmental Division for Garver Engineers, LLC of Little Rock, Arkansas, the consulting firm hired by the City, first gave an overview of what had transpired to-date about the need for improving the treatment of the city’s drinking water and why they were making their recommendation on the company to award the bid.
He reported that the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has taken a stringent approach to enforcing regulations for cities to improve on water treatment and Shawnee has received Consent Orders from EPA to make those improvements by 2004.
He informed the Commission that the consent orders had been amended by the Oklahoma Department of Environmental Quality to allow implementation of the ozonation treatment process.
Mr. Rowland gave a thorough explanation of the technical aspects of the process, in which his firm was recommending to use the negative pressure system, and he explained about the installed cost of the equipment.
He had a handout that compared the two bidders out of three and the recommendation was to award the bid to Ozone Technology, Inc. of Tyler, Texas, the higher bid, as opposed to Ozonia of Elmwood Park, New Jersey, the lower bid.
Mr. Rowland presented factors for consideration of the two bidders that included the following:
Ozone Technology, Inc.
*original OTI price (submitted during pre-disinfection technical memorandum review) was $786,000. Competitive bids brought OTI’s price down $46,140 to $739,860.00
*OTI bid the specified equipment, air preparation system, 3 skid mounted ozonators, and turbine injectors.
*OTI has several negative pressure systems in the United States and all parts are available “off-the-shelf.”
Ozonia
*Ozonia has no negative pressure systems in the United States
*air preparation and ozonation equipment all in one cabinet. The system requires 6 cabinets versus 3 skid units specified
*Venturi injection system bid in lieu of specified turbine injectors with a cost difference of $92,000.
The approximate cost of a turbine injection system (3 units) is $120,000 and approximate cost of a venture injection system (3 units) is $28,000.
Mr. Rowland also distributed a cost breakdown of the equipment bid, construction cost, and present worth. On a 20-year present worth basis comparing both units with the specified turbine injectors, there is a 3.95% difference between Ozonia and OTI.
The total cost for OTI was $l,730,000 that included the equipment bid; construction cost, and ten percent contingency; and total cost for Ozonia was $1,553,000.
City staff noted that there was $2,572,000 budgeted for the Water Treatment Plant Phase II improvements that included the control system.
After hearing Mr. Rowland’s recommendation, the Commission discussed reasons for considering the negative pressure ozone system as recommended by the consulting firm.
A motion was made by Commissioner Claybrook, seconded by Commissioner Harrod, to approve purchasing the 3000 Gram/Hour Negative Pressure Ozone Generating System from Ozone Technology Inc., Tyler, Texas, in the amount of $739,860, based on bid specifications and by incorporating all the reasons given by the consultant. Motion carried.
AYE: Claybrook, Pettyjohn, Harrod, Harden, Weaver, Peterson, Downing

b. One Snow Plow (award)
A motion was made by Vice Mayor Downing, seconded by Commissioner Weaver, to award the bid for one snow plow to Truck Quip, Tulsa, Oklahoma, in the amount of $5,905.00 as the lowest and best bid. Motion carried.

NAY: None
c. Two Salt Spreaders with Liquid De-Icing Solution (award)
Public Works Director James Cole reported that staff was recommending to award the bid to the next lowest bidder since the lowest bidder, Truck Quip, did not meet the de-icing specifications.
A motion was made by Commissioner Harrod, seconded by Vice Mayor Downing, to award the bid for the two salt spreaders with liquid de-icing solution to All Wheel Drive Equipment, Tulsa, Oklahoma in the amount of $14,271.48 as the best bid incorporating staff’s reasons for the award. Motion carried.
AYE: Harrod, Downing, Claybrook, Pettyjohn, Harden, Weaver, Peterson
NAY: None
d. YMCA Parking Lot Improvements (award)
City Engineer John Krywicki referred to the bid tabulations in the agenda packet and advised that he had requested bids for both Phase I and II of the YMCA parking lot improvements.
He stated that although he had budgeted for Phase I only in this year’s budget, there were funds available from last year’s carryover for new streets that could be used for Phase II improvements to be done at the same time as the first phase.
The recommended bid breakdown of the Phases were $92,583.40 for Phase I and $53462.30 for Phase II.
A motion was made by Vice Mayor Downing, seconded by Commissioner Weaver, that the bid for the YMCA parking lot improvements be awarded to All Roads Paving, Inc., Oklahoma City, Oklahoma in the amount of $146,045.70 as the lowest and best bid for road construction for Phase I and Phase II as recommended by the city engineer. Motion carried.
AYE: Downing, Weaver, Peterson, Claybrook, Pettyjohn, Harrod, Harden

AGENDA ITEM NO. 7: New Business. (Any matter not known about or which could not have been reasonably foreseen prior to the time of posting agenda)
