Contract Award for Copper Tubing and Miscellaneous Waterworks Parts <br />November 15, 2010 <br />Page 2 <br />Bids were solicited, opened on October 27, 2010 and evaluated. The results are as follows for a <br />price example based on a one month order of copper tubing with a specific order date: <br />Vendor: Location: Cost: <br />Ferguson Enterprises Pomona $13,585.51 <br />S & J Supply Co. Inc. Santa Fe Springs $15,000.32 <br />The bids received from Ferguson Enterprises and S & J Supply Co. Inc. are responsive to the <br />specifications and meet the City's requirements. Staff recommends awarding contracts to two local <br />vendors to allow for competitive quotes from both vendors on any given day. Copper tubing has a <br />very volatile price pattern and fluctuates based on current market value supply and demand. The <br />new contracts offer a daily market price for copper tubing with a fixed markup rate. The aggregate <br />annual amount of $150,000 is based upon past usage and staff projections for this contract period. <br />During the bid process, copper tubing purchased by Central Stores staff was handled thru Wells <br />Supply Co. after soliciting informal quotations. Payment on purchased copper tubing stock is <br />required to bring the account current during transition in supplier's contract for copper tubing. In <br />addition, award a $10,000 contract to Wells Supply Co for emergency supplies for the Public Works <br />Water Resource crews operating in the field. <br />FISCAL IMPACT <br />Funds are available in the Water Utility Water Production & Supply account (no. 63001). <br />ri G �'os <br />Raul Go Inez II <br />Executive Director <br />Public Works Agency <br />KM <br />APPROVED AS TO FUNDS AND ACCOUNTS: <br />Francisco Gutierrez <br />Executive Director <br />Finance & Management Services Agency <br />22A -2 <br />
