Irrigation supplies such as pipes, valves, <br />bushings and fittings are used extensively in the maintenance of the <br />irrigation systems at these locations. The materials are purchased <br />through the Central Stores warehouse for distribution. The contract for <br />irrigation supplies is designed to provide quality products at a <br />significant savings based on quantity pricing. <br />On November 7, 2007, the City Council awarded a contract to Ferguson <br />Waterworks, a Santa Ana vendor, for a one-year period with provision for <br />four, one-year renewals. The vendor has performed satisfactorily during <br />the past contract period and has agreed to renew the contract; however, <br />the vendor has requested a six percent increase due to the rising costs of <br />fuel and raw materials. Staff verified that the increase is consistent <br />with the market and the vendor continues to offer a competitive price. <br />Staff recommends the second renewal of the contract. <br />22A-1 <br />
