Construction <br />Company, Paulus Engineering, Inc. and Ken Thompson, Inc., for on-call <br />services for water and sewer emergencies, in an amount not to exceed <br />$130,000 each. <br />DISCUSSION <br />The City has a need to occasionally require the services of independent <br />contractors to assist in the emergency repair of sewer and water lines. <br />These services may include supplementing City personnel, materials and <br />equipment required to take immediate action necessary to prevent a system <br />outage, restore services to normal operating conditions and to maintain <br />services during such an emergency. <br />The three recommended contractors have been providing emergency services <br />to Santa Ana since 2003 and have a history of providing these services to <br />other agencies. Each contractor has the manpower, equipment and <br />experience required to assist with emergency pipeline repair work. The <br />rates listed for each contractor continue to be competitive. <br />Staff recommends securing the services of these three contractors to <br />assist the City during emergencies on an as-needed basis. The agreements <br />will be in effect for a three-year period and may be extended for a <br />period of two years. <br />ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT <br />There is no environmental impact associated with this action. <br />25E-1 <br />
