Staff Recommendation: <br />Staff recommends award of water and sewer supplies to low bidders meeting specifications as <br />listed above. Items will be purchased for Public Works warehouse inventory throughout the year <br />and distributed as needed. Funds are available and within budget of the water and sewer <br />divisions’ various accounts. A $20,000 contingency is recommended for unforeseen water main <br />breaks and water main replacement. <br />Project Benefits, Liabilities, and Operating Costs: <br />These items are maintained in the warehouse for water and sewer line leaks and repairs, <br />including commercial and residential. The immediate availability of these items reduces the time <br />that water is shut-off for the citizens and reduces amount of water leaking into roads, alleys, and <br />ditches. If the items are not available, utility crews would have to drive into Houston to purchase <br />the parts, significantly decreasing productivity and efficiency. <br />Action Required by Council: <br />Consider approval or other action authorizing the City Manager to enter into contracts with HD <br />Supply, MDN Enterprises, and ACT Supply for the annual supply of water and sewer supplies in <br />the amount of $86,604.75 and a $20,000 contingency. <br />Approved for City Council Agenda <br />Corby D.
