Public Works Agency <br />https://www.santa-ana.org/pw <br />Item # 10 <br />City of Santa Ana <br />20 Civic Center Plaza, Santa Ana, CA 92701 <br /> Staff Report <br />May 18, 2021 <br />TOPIC: Waterworks Fittings and Supplies Purchase <br />AGENDA TITLE <br />Award a Purchase Order to Core & Main LP, Ferguson Enterprises LLC, and Western <br />Water Works Supply Company in an Aggregate Amount Not to Exceed $2,125,000 for a <br />Five-Year Term for Waterworks Fittings and Supplies (Specification No. 21-012) (Non- <br />General Fund) <br />RECOMMENDED ACTION <br />Award blanket purchase order contracts to Core & Main LP, Ferguson Enterprises LLC, <br />and Western Water Works Supply Company for waterworks fittings and supplies for a <br />three-year period beginning May 18, 2021 and expiring May 17, 2024, with provisions for <br />two one-year renewal periods exercisable by the City Manager and City Attorney, in an <br />annual amount not to exceed $425,000, for a total aggregate amount of $2,125,000, <br />subject to non-substantive changes approved by the City Manager and City Attorney. <br />DISCUSSION <br />The Public Works Agency’s Water Resources Division manages the delivery of water to <br />residents, businesses, and fire hydrants in Santa Ana. To do so, the Agency maintains <br />an extensive distribution system that includes 20 active wells, seven pumping stations <br />and reservoirs, seven import water connections, and 450 miles of water distribution <br />mains. In order to perform necessary maintenance and repair of the extensive water <br />delivery system, Water Resources Division staff requires an assortment of materials and <br />fittings. The contract for waterworks fittings and supplies is designed to provide crews <br />with necessary, quality products at a significant savings based on quantity pricing. <br />As the City’s construction standards change, staff anticipates purchasing additional items <br />not historically kept in inventory. In addition, the projects programmed in the current and <br />proposed Capital Improvement Program will result in certain projects, such as replacing <br />angle/curb stops, to be conducted at a faster pace than normal, requiring a greater <br />inventory of materials to be kept on hand. As such, staff recommends awarding blanket <br />purchase order contracts to three vendors; Core & Main LP, Ferguson Enterprises LLC, <br />and Western Water Works Supply Company for waterworks fittings and supplies. Core & <br />Main LP and Ferguson Enterprises, LLC are located in Santa Ana.
