(formerly Marden Susco) <br />Badger Meter, Inc. <br /> <br />$90,000 <br />$90,000 <br /> <br />DISCUSSION <br /> <br />The Public Works Agency regularly performs installation, maintenance, <br />and replacement of residential and commercial water meters. The meters <br />are purchased through the Central Stores warehouse for distribution to <br />the Public Works Agency as needed. The contract for cold water meters <br />is designed to provide quality products at significant savings based on <br />quantity pricing. <br /> <br />On March 1, 2004, the City Council awarded contracts for cold water <br />meters to Hughes Supply, Inc., formerly Marden Susco, Badger Meter, <br />Inc., and Inland Water Works Supply Co. for a two-year period with <br />provision for three one-year renewals. All of the vendors have <br />performed satisfactorily during the past contract period. Hughes <br />Supply, Inc., and Badger Meter, Inc. have agreed to renew the contracts <br />without an increase in pricing. Due to a low demand for the items <br />provided, the contract with Inland Water Works Supply Co. will not be <br />renewed. Staff recommends the first renewal of the contracts with the <br />recommended vendors. <br /> <br />22C-1 <br /> <br />CS :58J <br />
