NO. 04-110) <br />a-4---r <br />CI Y MANAGER <br />RECOMMENDED ACTION <br />CLERK OF COUNCIL USE ONLY: <br />APPROVED <br />^ As Recommended <br />^ As Amended <br />^ Ordinance on 1~~ Reading <br />^ Ordinance on 2"tl Reading <br />^ Implementing Resolution <br />^ Set Public Hearing For_ <br />CONTINUED TO <br />FILE NUMBER <br />Amend the contract with S & J Supply Co., Inc. for the purchase of fire <br />hydrants and accessories by $40,000 for an annual amount not to exceed <br />$105,021. <br />DISCUSSION <br />In order to maintain fire safety standards, the Public Works Agency <br />requires an assortment of fire hydrants and accessories. The items are <br />purchased through the Central Stores warehouse for distribution. The <br />contract for the supplies is designed to provide quality products at <br />significant savings based on quantity pricing. <br />On October 4, 2004, the City Council awarded a contract to S & J Supply <br />Co., Inc. for fire hydrants and accessories. The existing stock of fire <br />hydrants is aging and it is no longer cost-effective to repair them. As a <br />result, the replacement of these fire hydrants with new ones caused the <br />current contract limit to be exceeded. Therefore, staff requests approval <br />to increase the contract limit for S & J Supply Co., Inc. to provide <br />uninterrupted purchases of fire hydrants and accessories while new bids are <br />being solicited. <br />FISCAL. IMPACT <br />Funds are available in the Water Utility Water System Maintenance and <br />Acquisition & Construction Water Utility Capital Expense Operating <br />Materials & Supplies accounts (account nos. 64-575-6391 and 66-578-6391). <br />APPROVED AS TO FUNDS AND ACCOUNTS: <br />James G. ss ~ Francisco Gutierrez <br />Executive Director Executive Director <br />Public Works Agency Finance & Mgmt.
