MOU Discussion & Motion to Approve: the Draft Memorandum of Understanding regarding a working relationship between Saskatchewan Ministry of Highways and Infrastructure and the Provincial Area Transportation Planning Committees was accepted as presented. ROAD UPDATES/CONCERNS: (Note: Kurt Whitford, MHI was in attendance to report.)

• Paving of Hwy 13 and 8 through and south of Redvers is has been completed; ditches reworked. • Town of Arcola will be meeting with MHI regarding turning lane concerns December 14, 2018. • The RM of Reciprocity and RM Moose Creek partnering for the clay capping of #361 -- the plan is still to tender in 2018,

and build in 2019. • #47 south of Estevan: Westmoreland contacted the SETPC office and reported they are concerned about this crossing

and are working on a solution which may entail mud jacking or equivalent procedure; doing a cost-analysis. Time of year to do this work is concerning, and may require waiting until 2019 for weather appropriate for construction work. Signage continues to be a concern.

• Kurt Whitford noted that some preliminary engineering work is being completed on #48 east of #8. • Rail crossings still on the radar – Bienfait and Peebles.

SETPC 2 November 27, 2018

Chairman ______________________ Secretary ____________________ Date __________

• The lack of sloping on #18 east to Estevan reviewed by Kurt Whitford and appears to be a standard engineering design. There was concern expressed regarding the many speed zones (at least three), through this portion of highway.

• Moosomin Bypass: Dale McAuley of RM #121 Moosomin was in attendance and reported that the town and RM are unanimous in their support of a truck bypass. This would remove much heavy traffic from Main Street. The SETPC EWC agreed to forward a letter of support to MHI regarding the proposed truck bypass.

• #361 east of Alida requires more ‘bump’ signs. • MHI policy as to MHI hot-line road condition updates was discussed. Kurt Whitford will forward the web-address for

distribution to the EWC.

MHI: Alan Lindsay advised that the two ATPCs who have completed the required Transportation Plan Update (SETPC & NETPC), will be part of a pilot project whereas each Executive Working Committee member will be granted the opportunity to nominate up to three projects each for candidate projects for capital upgrade. (Capital upgrade treatments are typically related to: widening, re-surfacing, upgrading to primary weight, gravel reversion, intersection improvements, etc.) Suggested submission date: March 31, 2019. SARM: Bill Huber reported that three SARM delegates (including Bill) and four SARM staff, travelled to Ottawa to lobby on issues of concern to Saskatchewan and western Canada. The following concerns were discussed:

• Bill C-49 -- Spoke to Minister McCauley with regard to how the changes in the bill are going to improve grain movement! The bill has been passed in the house.

• Deregistration of strychnine (used in the control of the Richardson ground squirrel, aka gophers) – met with the PMRA (Pest Management Regulatory Association) to try and convince them to work with Health Canada to leave the registration in place at least until they have a product to replace it that is as effective.

• USCMCA (the new NAFTA). • Oil pipelines/job losses in the petroleum industry in Western Canada; • Carbon Tax. • ILO’s – the new committee formed by the ministry of agriculture chaired by MLA Steven Bonk. SARM has representatives on

the Board and its purpose is to work with SARM and other Ag groups to help establish and encourage intensive livestock operations in Saskatchewan.

• Tire Stewardship Saskatchewan – continuing concern regarding legacy stock piles. Will be meeting with Brad Colin to discuss this concern.

Bill Huber also noted that the SARM Midterm Convention held in Saskatoon was well attended; also, that the Fields on Wheels Conference in Winnipeg was very informative. NEXT REGULAR MEETING – Tuesday, January 22, 2019 – 9:30 a.m. Carlyle Town Office. Adjournment: Kevin Kish. 12:00 p.m. NOTE: All SETPC meetings are open to representatives from member municipalities, but voting privileges are granted to the Executive Working Committee (EWC) only.

RE: Water Treatment Plant Treatment Chemical Tender 2019

ITEM OR INQUIRY

A public tender opening was held at City Hall at 3:00 PM Tuesday, December 4th, 2018 for the treatment chemicals used at the WTP.

BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION

Univar submitted tenders but it does not meet our guidelines for a valid submission. All their pricing was subject to change after the first quarter and was not fixed from January 1st, 2019 to December 31st, 2019.

We will be switched the form we feed Potassium Permangate this year. For this reason, we tendered a different product then last year. It is 5% more expensive per Kg, but we use 35% less of the product to achieve the same result. This will be a savings in the long run.

All prices include taxes and shipping.

All low bids are within the amounts we have budgeted for 2018

Deposits are not included and are returned when the containers are returned.

All Chemicals must be certified as NSF for water treatment.

Brenntag acquired Canadian Colors & Chemicals Ltd. For this reason, they did not submit a bid. This increased the cost of a chemical they were awarded last year to increase by 40%.

2

Brenntag and Cleartech came in with the same price per Kg for Chlorine Tonners. As our tender guidelines if 2 prices are the same, we have the right to go with the same person awarded last year. In this case Cleartech was awarded the contract last year.

There is a slight difference between Cleartech and Brenntag in the final cost for Chlorine due to Tonner Rounding calculations.

OPTIONS & SOLUTIONS

The tenders were as follows:

Aluminum Sulphate - Water Treatment Plant

Border Chemical Company Ltd. $ 72,870.00 ($347.00/tonne) Chemtrade West Ltd $ 84,420.00

Liquid Chlorine – Water Treatment Plant Brenntag Canada Inc. $ 20,956.32 ClearTech Inc. $ 20,951.70 ($1.10/Kg) KMnO4 – Water Treatment Plant ClearTech Inc. $ 22,386.00 ($5.33/Kg)

Brenntag $ 24,872.40 Univar $ 31,346.40

Ammonium Sulphate – Water Treatment Plant ClearTech Inc. $ 16,800.00

Brenntag $ 14,595.00 ($2.78/Kg)

Univar $ 22,810.50

Hydrofluosillic Acid HFS (fluoride) ClearTech Inc. $ 11,435.42 Brenntag Canada Inc. $ 10,045.73 ($1.3288/KG)

Univar $ 25,734.24 Sodium Hydroxide Solution

3

Brenntag Canada Inc. $ 63,121.80 ($0.8588/Kg) ClearTech Inc. $ 69,090.00 Univar Canada $ 87,801.00

RECOMMENDATIONS

This division recommends the tenders be awarded to the lowest bidders as follows:

- Aluminum Sulphate tender be awarded to Border Chemical as per their tendered price of $72,870.00. A 6% increase in pricing from last year.

- Chlorine for the Water Treatment Plant tender be awarded to Clear Tech as per their tendered price of $20,951.70. A 12% increase in pricing from last year.

- KMnO4 for the Water Treatment Plant tender be awarded to ClearTech Inc. as per their

tendered price of $22,386.00. A 5% increase in pricing from last year.

- Ammonium Sulfate for the Water Treatment Plant tender be awarded to Brenntag as per their tendered price of $14,595.00. A 39% increase in pricing from last year.

- HSF Acid (Fluoride) tender be awarded to Brenntag as per their tendered price of

$10,045.73 shipping included. A 0.1% increase in pricing from last year.

- Sodium Hydroxide Solution Tenders be awarded to Brenntag as per their tendered price of $60,116.80 shipping included. There was an 8% decrease in pricing from last year.

DELEGATED AUTHORITY

The disposition of this report is within City Council’s authority, and the WT/WWT business Division is waiting authorization from Council to proceed with using the noted distributors for the supply of water treatment chemicals for 2019.

DATE: December 11, 2018 TO: Mayor Roy Ludwig & Council SUBMITTED BY: Jeff Ward (City Manager) c/o Stacee Naka (Utilities Clerk)

RE: Incentives Programs ITEM OR INQUIRY

Proposal for two incentive programs in 2019 for Utilities.

1. Signing up for electronic billing 2. Signing up for pre-authorized payments

BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION

1. Signing up for electronic billing Due to postal strikes and the continuous increase in postage, we are trying to encourage customers to sign up for electronic billing to receive their bills via email.

2. Signing up for pre-authorized payments To avoid missed bills and penalties, we are encouraging customers to sign up for pre-authorized payments to have withdrawn from their accounts on their bills due date.

OPTIONS & SOLUTIONS

1. Signing up for electronic billing We would like to offer 4 draws over the year of 2019 (1 per quarter) for every person who signs up (or has signed up) for e-billing. Each draw would be for a $250 credit (average bi-monthly bill) on their utility bill. Once a person wins, they will not be eligible to win again.

2

2. Signing up for pre-authorized payments We would like to offer two draws over the year of 2019 (One in June and one in December) for every person who signs up (or has signed up) for pre-authorized payments. The draw would be for an IPad (value of $500).

RECOMMENDATIONS

I recommend that we do something to encourage people to sign up and that in the long run the costs of the draws would be made up in the amount of postage saved on sending out bi-monthly bills and reminder notices.
