.. _ • <br />~ ~0' <br />INTER-OFFICE MEMORANDUM <br />MARCH 27, 1985 <br />T0: S. Gillett - Assistant Director of Public Works <br />FROM: J. Ray - Purchasing Agent <br />s/ <br />SUBJECT: Sealed Bid ~~8512-30 - Cooperative Purchase Malathion (L.P. ~~0091) <br />r' <br />Advertised, sealed cooperative bid ~~8512-30 was opened and read in Baytown <br />City Hall on March 12, 1985 at 2:00 p.m. Bid invitations were mailed to ten <br />distributors of 91% Malathion with the following eight returning bids: (1) <br />J-Chem, (2) U.S.S. Agri-Chemical, (3) Holiman Equipment Co., (4) Oxford <br />Chemical, (5) Van Waters & Rogers Chemical Co., (6) Gulf Chemical, (7) Colonial <br />Mfg., and (8) Allstate Chemical. Vendors were asked to submit pricing on Pre- <br />mium Grade Malathion (91% min.) suitable for use in vector control fogging <br />operation. The cities of La Porte, Baytown, and Seabrook combined annual <br />Malathion requirements in an effort to obtain lower prices than currently being <br />paid. Listed below is a breakdown of estimated usage: <br />(1) City of La Porte - 594 gallons <br />(2) City of Baytown - 540 gallons <br />(3) City of Seabrook - 216 gallons <br />Low bid was submitted by Van Waters and Rogers Chemical Company in the <br />amount of $16.69 per gallon and a delivery time of 7 days after receipt of <br />order. This represents a reduction of 4% from the current price of $17.42 <br />per gallon. <br />I recommend that the City of La Porte take advantage of this favorable <br />pricing and sign an interlocal agreement with the City of Baytown to purchase <br />11 drums (594 gallons) of Premium Grade Malathion from the low bidder, Van <br />Waters and Rogers Chemical Company. I trust this recommendation will meet <br />with your approval. <br />JR/mb <br />Attachments: Sealed Bid Tabulation ~~8512-30 (L.P. 40091) <br />Interlocal Agreement <br />cc: J. Hodge <br />J.
