Memorandum
This memorandum and resolution requests approval of a Sole Source Best Source purchase order with Trojan Technologies Corp. for required maintenance parts on the Water Treatment Services Unit UV system trains #1 and #2 to be completed in FY26 ($50,000.00).

The Water Treatment Services Unit has two (2) Ultraviolet Light trains that are used as secondary disinfection during the water treatment process to ensure that we meet our disinfection contact time requirements.

Budget/Fiscal Impact: These services are to be funded from the approved FY26 Water Supply System Fund operating and maintenance budget.
