Exhibit 1 - Agenda Information SheetCity of Denton _____________________________________________________________________________________ AGENDA INFORMATION SHEET DEPARTMENT: Procurement ACM: Christine Taylor DATE: June 3, 2025 SUBJECT Consider adoption of an ordinance of the City of Denton, a Texas home-rule municipal corporation, authorizing the City Manager to execute a contract with Flowpoint Environmental Systems, Inc., for a bulk- fill station for the Water Utilities Department; providing for the expenditure of funds therefor; and providing an effective date (RFP 8750 – awarded to Flowpoint Environmental Systems, Inc., for one (1) year, with the option for four (4) additional one (1) year extensions, in the total five (5) year not-to-exceed amount of $94,000.00). The Public Utilities Board recommends approval (4 - 0). STRATEGIC ALIGNMENT This action supports Key Focus Area: Promote Sustainability and the Environment. INFORMATION/BACKGROUND Staff issued a Request for Proposal (RFP) to procure a turnkey bulk-fill station to facilitate the efficient and controlled dispensing of reclaimed water to authorized users. This initiative aligns with the City’s commitment to expanding reclaimed water utilization while reducing the use of potable water for non- potable purposes. Additionally, the station will enhance drought resilience by serving as a mandatory alternative to potable water for non-potable truck use during Stages II and III of the Drought Contingency Plan. The City of Denton operates a reclaimed water program that distributes treated wastewater effluent through a separate distribution system for non-potable applications. The proposed bulk-fill station will connect to this system along the commercial entry road at the City of Denton Landfill, providing convenient access for both city and commercial vehicles equipped with appropriate water tanks. These vehicles will use the reclaimed water for applications such as construction, irrigation, and municipal operations. Flowpoint Environmental Systems, Inc. has submitted a proposal for a cloud-based, remotely monitored, and controlled water dispensing system. Key features include a user-friendly interface that allows customers to enter a unique PIN and specify the desired number of gallons, followed by automatic dispensing. The station will fill trucks through either an overhead 3-inch fill arm or a 3-inch side hose.
