Agenda 04/24/2018 Item #16C304/24/2018
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to approve the First Amendment to Agreement #17-7156 and authorize a Sole-
Source Waiver for a period of three years for the purchase of Bioxide Plus 71, Aktivox and VX456
from Evoqua Water Technologies LLC for use by the Public Utilities Department Wastewater
Division.
OBJECTIVE: To ensure the Wastewater Division remains in regulatory compliance (62 -604 F.A.C.),
minimizes odors consistent with the good neighbor policy, and meets demand with sustained reliability by
utilizing Evoqua Water Technologies LLC’s (Evoqua) advanced products in the wastewater collection
system and the water reclamation facilities.
CONSIDERATIONS: The Collier County Wastewater Division operates more than 60 odor control
systems. The technologies that Evoqua provides enable the Wastewater Division to reduce dissolved
sulfides to minimize the impact on the odor control systems located in the more than 850 lift stations and
two water reclamation facilities. On May 23, 2017, the Board of County Commissioners (Board)
approved agenda item 16C3 for the sole source purchases of Evoqua’s Bioxide Plus 71, Aktivox and
VX456 for a period of one year in the estimated amount of $500,000. On January 9, 2018, the Board
approved agenda item 16C4 for an increase of $250,000 to the purchase order for Bioxide Plus 71,
Aktivox and VX456 from Evoqua Water Technologies LLC for use by the Public Utilities Department
Wastewater Division.
The current agreement with Evoqua expires on May 31, 2018.
The Public Utilities Department requests sole-source authorization for three years to maintain
uninterrupted and continued use of Evoqua’s odor control products. In July 2017, staff conducted an
internal study of Collier County’s wastewater treatment and chemical usage and surveyed local sister
utilities of Manatee County, Loxahatchee, City of Tampa, Fort Pierce, Boca Raton and Lee County to
obtain an understanding of the technologies and chemicals used in the collection and treatment of
wastewater. Collier County, Lee County and Manatee County are similar in size, demographics and
topography. This review and analysis did not provide a conclusive determination of "the best" odor
control technology. Rather, it supported the contention that the existing conditions, treatment objectives
and economic restraints must be considered in selection and design of any odor control strategy. These
municipalities continue to utilize Evoqua products and services.
Collier County has a prohibition on using any hazardous rated materials in the collections system,
limiting the technology choices available to control odorous and corrosion issues. The County ensures
that technologies used will not affect natural resources, public health and/or personal safety. Some odor
control chemicals such as bleach and chlorine can be volatile and create containment concerns. Use of
these chemicals in the collections system can create biological and delivery issues.
Bioxide Plus 71 is a non-toxic and safe product that is fed into the piping system be tween pump stations
to minimize dissolved sulfides created in the collections system. Reduction of dissolved sulfide assists
with minimizing higher levels of hydrogen sulfides to a manageable level for the odor control systems.
Aktivox and VX456 are utilized at the water reclamation facilities to provide an immediate impact to
reduce dissolved sulfides. The use of these technologies also assists with other odors associated with
sewage processing.

These products provide the following additional benefits and advantages:
Reduces fats, oils and grease in the piping and pump station wet wells. This results in labor
and equipment cost savings by reducing the frequency of cleaning.
Allows the continued use of the existing, smaller odor control systems.
Reduces the potential of higher strength gasses that may affect the health and safety of plant
employees and residents who reside near the plants.
Staff is requesting the continued purchase of Bioxide Plus 71, Aktivox and VX456 from Evoqua pursuant
to the Procurement Ordinance, Section V.C1, Section 9, as the sole-source provider for these patented
products that have proven effective for the intended purpose. The Bioxide Plus 71, Aktivox and VX456
from Evoqua constitute an implied license to practice the processes described in the United States Patent
numbers 7,779,224B2,7,799,215B2 and US8,968,646B2. Bioxide Plus 71, Aktivox and VX456 are
registered trademarks of Evoqua Water Technologies LLC. The proposed First Amendment to
Agreement # 17-7156 includes an increase in the unit price of these products that will become effective
on June 1, 2018 and lock in through May 31, 2021.
FISCAL IMPACT: Funds are available in the Collier County Water-Sewer District Operating Fund
(408) and the Wastewater User Fee Fund (414). The actual amount to be expended will depend on the
demands on the wastewater system. The estimated cost will be approximately $750,000 - $900,000 per
year.
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: This project meets current Growth Management Plan
standards to insure the viability of public facilities.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item is approved as to form and legality, and requires majority
vote for Board approval. -SRT
RECOMMENDATION: That the Board of County Commissioners authorizes the Sole-Source Waiver
for a period of three years for the purchase of Bioxide Plus 71, Aktivox and VX456 from Evoqua Water
Technologies LLC for use by the Public Utilities Department Wastewater Division and to authorize the
Chairman to sign the attached proposed First Amendment to Agreement #17-7156.
