On November 15, 2010, the City Council awarded contracts for a one-year period, with provisions for
three one-year renewals. Staff recommended awarding contracts to two local vendors to allow for
competitive quotes from both vendors on any given day. Copper tubing has a very volatile price
pattern and fluctuates based on current market value supply and demand. The new contracts offer a
daily market price for copper tubing with a fixed markup rate. The vendors have performed
satisfactorily during the past contract period and have agreed to renew the contract without an
increase in pricing. Staff recommends the first renewal of the contracts.
