RECOMMENDED ACTION
Amend the contract with S & J Supply Co., Inc. for the purchase of fire
hydrants and accessories by $40,000 for an annual amount not to exceed
$105,021.
DISCUSSION
In order to maintain fire safety standards, the Public Works Agency
requires an assortment of fire hydrants and accessories. The items are
purchased through the Central Stores warehouse for distribution. The
contract for the supplies is designed to provide quality products at
significant savings based on quantity pricing.
On October 4, 2004, the City Council awarded a contract to S & J Supply
Co., Inc. for fire hydrants and accessories. The existing stock of fire
hydrants is aging and it is no longer cost-effective to repair them. As a
result, the replacement of these fire hydrants with new ones caused the
current contract limit to be exceeded. Therefore, staff requests approval
to increase the contract 1 imi t for S & J Supply Co., Inc. to provide
uninterrupted purchases of fire hydrants and accessories while new bids are
being solicited.
