Award a contract to Alhambra Foundry Co. Ltd. for the purchase of manhole frames and covers for a
one -year period in an annual amount not to exceed $50,000, with provisions for two one -year
renewals exercisable by the City Manager, subject to non - substantive changes approved by the City

DISCUSSION
The Public Works Agency (PWA) Water Resources Division maintains the City's sanitary sewer
systems consisting of approximately 390 miles of pipelines and 8,500 manholes. Approximately 160
manhole covers are replaced annually due to damage or wear and tear.
Alhambra Foundry Co. Ltd. was the original supplier of the City's manhole frames and covers
manufactured according to the 1969 City Standard Plans. As such, parts are not interchangeable
with products manufactured by other foundries. The City therefore purchases its manhole covers and
parts through Alhambra Foundry Co. through the Finance Department Central Stores warehouse.
The Central Stores warehouse provides PWA crews a one -stop shop for stock items in order to
expedite services and improve response time. The manhole covers and parts are then distributed to
Public Works water and sewer crews to provide readily available custom stock, based on quantity
pricing.
FISCAL IMPACT
Funds are available in the Public Works Sanitary Sewer Service account (no. 05617640 - 63001) and
the Water System Maintenance account (no. 06017641 - 63001).
