DISCUSSION
The Public Works Agency Water Resources Division manages an extensive water distribution system
which supplies water to businesses and residents in Santa Ana including all fire hydrants. The
system includes twenty active wells, seven pumping stations and reservoirs, and seven import water
connections, as well as miles of water pipe. To perform maintenance and repairs to the water
distribution system and fire hydrants, staff requires an assortment of materials such as valves,
adapters, couplings, clamps, brass bushings, flanges, nuts, and stops. The contract for waterworks
fittings and supplies is designed to provide quality products at a significant savings based on quantity
pricing.
On September 6, 2011, the City Council awarded contracts to Ferguson Enterprises, Inc., H.D.
Supply Waterworks Ltd., Wells Supply Co., and S & J Supply Company, Inc., for a one-year period,
with provisions for three one-year renewals. The vendors have agreed to renew their contract;
however, have requested an average of eight percent price increase due to higher freight costs and
rising raw material and labor costs. Staff recommends the second renewal of the contracts. The
aggregate amount of $225,000 is based on past usage and staff projections.
