Set Public Hearing For <br /> CONTINUED TO <br /> FILE NUMBER <br /> CITY-MANAGER <br /> RECOMMENDED ACTION <br /> Renew the contract for copper tubing for a one-year period in an amount not to exceed $150,000 <br /> with the following vendors: <br /> <br /> Vendor Location <br /> <br /> Ferguson Enterprises Pomona <br /> S & J Supply Co. Inc. Santa Fe Springs <br /> <br /> DISCUSSION <br /> <br /> The Public Works Agency (PWA) Water Resources Division maintains 50,000 water service <br /> connections to deliver 40,438 acre-feet of water to businesses and residents in Santa Ana. To <br /> perform maintenance and repairs on the City's extensive water distribution system, PWA requires <br /> various sizes of the industry standard grade K copper tubing. The tubing is purchased through the <br /> Central Stores warehouse for distribution. The contract for copper tubing and miscellaneous <br /> waterworks parts is designed to provide quality products at a significant savings based on quantity <br /> pricing. <br /> <br /> On November 15, 2010, the City Council awarded contracts for a one-year period, with provisions for <br /> three one-year renewals. Staff recommended awarding contracts to two local vendors to allow for <br /> competitive quotes from both vendors on any given day. Copper tubing has a very volatile price <br /> pattern and fluctuates based on current market value supply and demand. The new contracts offer a <br /> daily market price for copper tubing with a fixed markup rate. The vendors have performed <br /> satisfactorily during the past contract period and have agreed to renew the contract without an <br /> increase in pricing. Staff recommends the first renewal of the contracts. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> 22A-1 <br />
