The City’s water system is composed of approximately 478 miles of water <br />mains, supplying the City’s drinking water, serving 333,000 residents and businesses of <br />Santa Ana. The Water Resources Division maintains water service connections and <br />uses industry standard Type K copper tubing when repairing service leaks. Historically, <br />copper fittings have been stocked at the City Yard in order to address service leaks <br />quickly, avoid disruption to the public, and used as needed by the Water Resources <br />Division. <br />Prior to publishing bids, the City’s Finance and Management Services Agency (Finance) <br />Purchasing Division works with end user to determine department needs for supplies <br />and materials. The availability of raw materials and lead times are also factored when <br />establishing contract terms. In the case of purchasing copper tubing, Finance and PWA <br />staff determined the contract term of one-year and four, one-year renewal options as <br />the most responsive term for potential market fluctuation.
