AN ORDINANCE ACCEPTING AND AUTHORIZING THE EXECUTION OF CONTRACT UE24-10-62 WITH CENTRAL STONE COMPANY IN AN AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $5,100,000.00 FOR THE PURCHASE AND DELIVERY OF LIMESTONE FOR THE DALLMAN POWER PLANT SCRUBBER FOR THE OFFICE OF PUBLIC UTILITIES
This is a standard contract recurring contract for the purchase of limestone. This ordinance approves and authorizes an execution of a three-year contract in an amount not to exceed $5,100,000.00 with Central Stone Company for the purchase and delivery of limestone for the Dallman Power Plant 4 Flue Gas Desulfurization Systems (FGDS), i.e., Scrubber. A limestone and water mixture is used to neutralize sulfur dioxide in flue gas emissions. Limestone will be delivered to the Dallman Power Plant as supplies are needed. No minimum quantities are guaranteed under the contract. The delivered price for limestone is $27.05 per ton ($12.55 per ton for limestone and $14.50 per ton for freight). The hauling rate is subject to fuel adjustment determined by the cost for No. 2 fuel oil. The Fuel Cost Adjustment will be made bimonthly, beginning on February 1, 2024. Central Stone provided the only bid and has been supplying limestone for the scrubber systems for over twenty years. In December 2017, a three-year contract for the purchase of limestone was awarded to Central Stone Company, UE18-09-48 (Ord. 001-10-18). Those prices were $22.20 per ton ($9.27 per ton for limestone and $12.93). A three-year extension to this UE18-09-48 contract was authorized by Ord. 039-02-21. This contract also allows for mutually agreed-upon contract extensions with the approval of both parties and City Council.
