Meeting: Regular Council - Feb 08 2024
Staff Contact: Marjorie Craig, Utilities Director Department: Utilities
Consider Approval of a Shrieve Chemical Company, LLC, 1st Addendum to a February 9, 2023,
Agreement for Sulfuric Acid 93% Solution for Water Treatment based on PBC#22071 R Piggyback
Agreement
. -
The Village of Tequesta Utilities Department recommends approval of the 1st amendment renewal of our
piggyback agreement leveraging Palm Beach County PBC#22071 R contract for sulfuric acid (H2SO4) from
Shrieve Chemical Company, LLC (Shrieve). We are currently paying $2.13/gallon to pretreat raw water before
the reverse osmosis (RO) plant membrane process and Shrieve is offering to continue that price.
Sulfuric acid is used in the water treatment process to lower the PH of the raw water to the RO membranes.
The source water for the RO plant comes from the upper Floridan aquifer, which contains compounds such as
calcium carbonate and hydrogen sulfide along with other constituents in the untreated groundwater. These are
removed from the water through the RO membranes. Sulfuric acid also aids in the removal of hydrogen sulfide
in the post-treatment degasifier system.
Attached is the agreement with the Village from February 9, 2023, and the 1 st Amendment to the agreement.
The Village will need approximately 18,000 gallons at $2.13/gallons through the remainder of the fiscal year
and will open a $40,000 purchase order to cover that amount. The money will come from the Water Fund's
production treatment chemicals in 401-242-552.342.
