Renew the contract with Ferguson Waterworks for the purchase of waterworks
fittings and supplies for a one-year period in an annual amount not to
exceed $45,000.
DISCUSSION
Last year, the Public Works Agency (PWA) Water Division delivered 43,000
acre-feet of water to businesses and residents in Santa Ana. To do so,
PWA maintains an extensive distribution system that includes 20 active
wells, seven pumping stations and reservoirs, and seven import water
connections, as well as miles of water pipe. In order to perform
maintenance and repairs on this extensive system, PWA requires an
assortment of materials such as valves, adapters, couplings, and clamps.
The materials are purchased through the Central Stores warehouse for
distribution. The contract for waterworks fittings and supplies is
designed to provide quality products at a significant savings based on
quantity pricing.
On September 17, 2007, the City Council awarded a contract to Ferguson
Waterworks, a Santa Ana vendor, for a one-year period with provision for
three, one-year renewals. The vendor has agreed to renew the contract;
however, the vendor has requested a 17 percent increase due to the rising
costs of raw materials. Staff verified that the new pricing is consistent
with the market and the vendor continues to offer competitive pricing.
Staff recommends the first renewal of the contract.
