DISCUSSION
The Water Resources Division of the Public Works Agency (PWA) maintains 50,000 water service
connections to deliver 40,438 acre-feet of water annually to businesses and residents in Santa Ana.
To perform maintenance and repairs on the City's extensive water distribution system, PWA requires
various sizes of the industry standard "grade K" copper tubing. The tubing is purchased through the
Central Stores warehouse for distribution. The contract for copper tubing and miscellaneous
waterworks parts is designed to provide quality products at a significant savings based on quantity
pricing.
On November 15, 2010, the City Council awarded contracts to Ferguson Enterprises and S & J
Enterprises for a one-year period, with provisions for three one-year renewals. Staff had
recommended awarding contracts to two local vendors to allow for competitive quotes from both
vendors on any given day. Copper tubing has a very volatile price pattern and fluctuates based on
current market value, supply, and demand. The contracts offer a daily market price for copper tubing
with a fixed markup rate. The vendors have performed satisfactorily during the past contract period
and staff recommends the second renewal of the contracts.
