Approximately 160 manhole <br />covers are replaced annual due to damage or theft. <br />Alhambra Foundry Co., LTD was the original supplier of the City's manhole frames and covers <br />manufactured according to the 1969 City Standard Plans. As such, parts are not interchangeable <br />with products manufactured by other foundries. The City is therefore required to stock manhole parts <br />supplies by Alhambra Foundry Company. Staff recommends the contract to maintain sufficient <br />stock based on past usage and staff projections for this contract period. <br />FISCAL IMPACT <br />Funds are available in the Sanitary Sewer Service account (accounting unit 05617640-63001) and <br />Water Utility Water Products & Supply account (accounting unit 06017641-63001). <br />Raul Godinez II <br />Executive Direct <br />Public Works Agency <br />KM <br />APPROVED AS TO FUNDS AND ACCOUNTS: <br />Francisco Gutierrez <br />Executive Director <br />Finance & Management Services Agency <br />22C-1
