FILE NUMBER
Amend the contract with Wells Supply Company for brass water service
fittings by $23,000 for a total annual amount not to exceed $98,000.
DISCUSSION
The Public Works Agency (PWA) Water Division delivers approximately 43,000
acre feet of water to businesses and residents in Santa Ana. To do so, PWA
maintains an extensive distribution system that includes 20 active wells,
seven pumping stations and reservoirs, and seven import water connections,
as well as miles of water pipe. In order to perform maintenance and
repairs on this extensive system, PWA requires an assortment of materials
such as bushings, flanges, nuts, and stops. The materials are purchased
through the Central Stores warehouse for distribution. The contract for
brass water service fittings is designed to provide quality products at a
significant savings based on quantity pricing.
On September 3, 2008, the City Council renewed a contract with wells Supply
Company, a Santa Ana vendor, for brass water service fittings. An increase
in demand for items, including a large purchase of water spools and a wide
variety of non-contract item purchases such as clamps, tees, and copper
tubing, requires an increase in the current contract of $75,000. Staff
requests approval to increase the contract limit to Wells Supply Company to
provide uninterrupted purchases of brass water service fittings.
