RESOLUTION APPROVING LEASE AGREEMENT WITH CARRICO AQUATIC
RESOURCES,INC.,FOR FURMAN AQUATIC CENTER CHLORINATION
EQUIPMENT FOR THE CITY OF AMES,IOWA
WHEREAS, the Furman Aquatic Center (FAC) opened in 2010 and averages
approximately 90,000 patrons per year. In order for patrons or staff to be in the water,the State of
Iowa Pool Code requires the chlorine content to be between one and eight parts per million. In
order to achieve that requirement, chlorine is injected into the disinfection system; and,
WHEREAS, an alternative to a liquid chlorine disinfection system is the use of solid
chlorine briquettes, which can be stored for many months or years in a sealed container and no
efficacy is lost. Chlorine briquettes are planned to be used at the City's future aquatic facilities.
Staff researched converting the disinfection system at FAC from liquid chlorine to solid chlorine
briquettes to address the issues with cost, safety, and efficacy, and standardize equipment at all of
the City's aquatic facilities; and,
WHEREAS, Carrico Aquatic Resources (CAR), Oelwein, Iowa, produces the solid
chlorine briquette system being specified for the City's future aquatic facilities. CAR's proposal to
supply all new equipment to convert to a solid chlorine briquette system at FAC is in the form of
a one-year lease proposal. The lease provides the City with the feed systems at no charge given
that the City purchases a minimum supply of 5,000 lbs. of chlorine briquettes, the amount
estimated for one season of operation. After one year,the chlorine system becomes property of the
City for no additional charge.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Ames, Iowa,
that the Pulsar Precision Feeder Lease Agreement with Carrico Aquatic Resources, Inc., for
Furman Aquatic Center Chlorination Equipment in the amount of$23,312 is hereby approved.
