Summary & Background: The Department of Public Works recommends approval to renew an existing contract with Hydro, Inc. (Hoschton, GA) to provide rental & maintenance of deionized water.
Scope of Work: This contract defines the responsibilities, deliverables, and service requirements for the leasing, installation, and ongoing maintenance of deionized (DI) water systems to support two laboratory locations. The system must produce Type II laboratory-grade water in accordance with applicable standards. The scope of the contract also includes the regular replacement of all associated filters and tanks necessary for proper system operation.
Community Impact: The County is required to collect and analyze water samples monthly for total coliforms and E. coli. Additionally, the County conducts analyses of treatment plant effluents for these organisms as well as organic and inorganic analytes. Failure to comply with these requirements may result in fines and penalties imposed by Georgia's Environmental Protection Division or the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Without deionized water, the county’s laboratory cannot perform mandatory analyses.
Department Recommendation: The Department recommends the renewal of the existing contract.
Project Implications: Reliable and consistent access to high-quality Type II deionized water is critical to maintaining laboratory processes, ensuring the accuracy of experimental results, and meeting regulatory and quality standards.
Community Issues/Concerns: No issues/concerns were raised by clients concerning the laboratory testing service.
Department Issues/Concerns: The Department of Public Works has no issues or concerns.
