Renew the contract with Alhambra Foundry Co. 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 City's sanitary sewer
system consisting of approximately 390 miles of pipelines and 8,500 manholes. Approximately 160
manhole covers are replaced annually due to damage. Alhambra Foundry Co. 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 to for a one-year period, with provisions for two
one-year renewals. Alhambra Foundry Co. has performed satisfactorily during the past contract
period; however, the vendor has requested a five percent increase after holding their pricing for two
years. Staff recommends the final renewal of the contract.
FISCAL IMPACT
Funds are available in the Public Works Sanitary Sewer Service account (no. 05617640-63001) and
the Water System Maintenance account (no. 06017641-63001).
