RECOMMENDED ACTION
Award a contract to Advanced Valve Technologies, LLC for water valve
installation equipment in the amount of $57,291.
DISCUSSION
The Public Works Agency' s Water Resources Division oversees the supply of
fresh water to the city covering 450 miles of pipeline and 21 groundwater
production wells. Valves are used to control the flow of water throughout
the system. Installation of a water valve normally requires 2 to 4 hours
to complete. New installation equipment available from Advanced Valve
Technologies, LLC allows a water valve to be installed in 45 minutes.
Utilizing the new equipment will result in a lower cost for water valve
installations and will also minimize the disruption of water service.
Staff surveyed the market and Advanced Valve Technologies, LLC is the sole
source provider of the water valve installation equipment.
FISCAL IMPACT
Funds are available in the Water Systems Maintenance Machinery & Equipment
account (no. 64-575-6641).
