BACKGROUND The Utilities Division of the Operations Services Department is responsible for the repair and replacement of the City's utilities systems including the potable water, recycled water, sewer, and storm drain systems. For the water and recycled water systems, repair and replacement categories include service meters, service laterals, distribution piping and valving, tanks, pump stations, and supporting electrical and instrumentation systems. For the sewer and storm drain systems, repair and replacement categories include collection piping and manholes, pump stations, and supporting electrical and instrumentation systems. The repair and replacement programs include both scheduled work to extend the life of systems and emergency repairs. In July of 2019, the City executed contracts with R&B Company, Pace Supply, and Griswold Industries for utility infrastructure supplies. These supplies typically support the repair and replacement of distribution piping and valving for the water and recycled water systems, and collection piping for the sewer and storm systems. The supplies include large diameter piping, fittings, couplings, valves, and other materials that are typically not available at general supply stores. By executing these three contracts, staff is able to receive product specific pricing at the time of need to obtain the lowest pricing and/or shortest lead time in instances of emergency repairs. In anticipation of the repair and replacement requirements for the remainder of this fiscal year, and based on the competitive pricing and product availability experienced to date, staff is recommending to amend the current contract with R&B Company to a not to exceed amount of $400,000 for FY 2019/20.
