FILE NUMBER
Award a contract to Alhambra Foundry Co., LTD for the purchase of manhole frames and covers for
a one-year period, with provisions for two, one-year renewals in an annual amount not to exceed
$40,000.
DISCUSSION
The Public Works Agency (PWA) Water Resources Division maintains the sanitary sewer systems
consisting of approximately 390 miles of pipelines and 8,500 manholes. Approximately 160 manhole
covers are replaced annual due to damage or theft.
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 is therefore required to stock manhole parts
supplies by Alhambra Foundry Company. Staff recommends the contract to maintain sufficient
stock based on past usage and staff projections for this contract period.
FISCAL IMPACT
Funds are available in the Sanitary Sewer Service account (accounting unit 05617640-63001) and
Water Utility Water Products & Supply account (accounting unit 06017641-63001).
