FILE NUMBER
Renew the contract with Alhambra Foundry Co., LTD for the purchase of manhole frames and
covers for a one-year period in an amount not to exceed $40,000.
DISCUSSION
The Water Resources Division of the Public Works Agency maintains the sanitary sewer system
consisting of approximately 390 miles of pipelines and 8,500 manholes. Approximately 160
manhole covers are replaced annually due to damage or theft. Alhambra Foundry Company 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 supplied by Alhambra
Foundry Co. The manhole frames and covers are purchased through the Central Stores
warehouse for distribution to water sewer crews to provide readily available custom stock, based
on quantity pricing.
On April 4, 2011, the City Council awarded a contract for a one-year period, with provisions for
two one-year renewals. The vendor have performed satisfactorily during the past contract period
and has agreed to renew the contract without an increase in pricing. Staff recommends the first
renewal of the contract.
