Request for Proposal for <br />Fire Hydrant Maintenance Services <br />August 16, 2010 <br />Page 2 <br />An internal review of water maintenance activities showed that fire hydrant maintenance could be <br />performed by a contractor. Until this year, maintenance of the City's 4,800 fire hydrants was <br />performed by two Water Services Workers. Should a contract be awarded to perform this work, <br />workers with similar training and certifications will be required. <br />Contracting out this activity will not result in layoffs or reassignments of existing City staff. A one <br />year contract is being considered with a full review to determine if contracting this activity is cost- <br />effective. If contracting out fire hydrant maintenance is not approved, then two additional Water <br />Services Workers will need to be approved and funded in the Water Resources Division budget to <br />resume this activity. <br />ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT <br />There is no environmental impact associated with this action. <br />FISCAL IMPACT <br />Funds are available in the Water Systems Maintenance Fund (account no. 06017641-62300). <br />Raul Godinez II <br />Executive Directo <br />Public Works Agency <br />APPROVED AS TO FUNDS AND ACCOUNTS: <br />Francisco Gutierrez 9W <br />Executive Director <br />Finance & Management Services Agency <br />RG/RB <br />Exhibit 1: Request for Proposals <br />19C-2
