CI Y MANAGER <br /> <br />CONTINUED TO <br /> <br />FILE NUMBER <br /> <br />RECOMMENDED ACTION <br /> <br />Amend the contract with S & J Supply Co., Inc. for the purchase of fire <br />hydrants and accessories by $40,000 for an annual amount not to exceed <br />$105,021. <br /> <br />DISCUSSION <br /> <br />In order to maintain fire safety standards, the Public Works Agency <br />requires an assortment of fire hydrants and accessories. The items are <br />purchased through the Central Stores warehouse for distribution. The <br />contract for the supplies is designed to provide quality products at <br />significant savings based on quantity pricing. <br /> <br />On October 4, 2004, the City Council awarded a contract to S & J Supply <br />Co., Inc. for fire hydrants and accessories. The existing stock of fire <br />hydrants is aging and it is no longer cost-effective to repair them. As a <br />result, the replacement of these fire hydrants with new ones caused the <br />current contract limit to be exceeded. Therefore, staff requests approval <br />to increase the contract 1 imi t for S & J Supply Co., Inc. to provide <br />uninterrupted purchases of fire hydrants and accessories while new bids are <br />being solicited. <br /> <br />FISCAL.
