There City's Public Works Agency currently has 50 water quality <br /> sampling stations throughout the City's water distribution system. Water samples are collected <br /> from all 50 sites to determine compliance with established water quality regulation. <br /> <br /> Over time, the existing sample stations have deteriorated and have become difficult to secure. In <br /> order to maintain the integrity of the water samples collected and avoid any possible <br /> contamination, these sampling stations will need to be replaced. The Public Works Water <br /> Resources Division tested various models of sampling stations and determined that the Eclipse <br /> Kupferle sampling stations meets the mandated water sampling requirements. <br /> <br /> The notice inviting bids was advertised July 31, 2013, and bids were solicited. A summary of the <br /> bid invitations and bids received is as follows: <br /> <br /> 3 Invitations For Bid mailed <br /> 1 Invitation for Bid mailed to a Santa Ana vendor <br /> 3 Bids received <br /> 1 Bid received from a Santa Ana vendor <br /> <br /> Bids were received, opened on August 9, 2013, and evaluated (Exhibit 1).
