Contract Award for Fire Hydrants, <br />February 22, 2011 <br />Page 2 <br />Water Works Fittings and Supplies <br />Since January 2009, City Council has awarded multiple one -year period contracts with renewal <br />provisions to purchase PWA waterworks fittings from a selected group of vendors. This group of <br />vendors has been awarded contracts repeatedly based on their competitive pricing and compliance <br />to bid specifications. In an effort to achieve efficiencies through further economies of scale and <br />pooled purchasing power, staff recommends the consolidation of the 12 current waterworks fittings <br />contracts and the renewal of such contracts for the remainder of the 2010 -11 fiscal year. In addition, <br />staff will conduct an evaluation of Public Works Agency waterworks inventory and release a bid for <br />award in fiscal year 2011 -12. <br />FISCAL IMPACT <br />Funds are available in the Water Utility Water Systems Maintenance and Water Quality & <br />Measurement accounts (no. 06017641 -63001 and 06017644- 63001). <br />APPROVED AS TO FUNDS AND ACCOUNTS: <br />v <br />Raul odinez II Francisco Gutierrez <br />Executive Director Executive Director <br />Public Works Agency Finance & Mgmt Services Agency <br />KM <br />22C -2 <br />
