SUBJECT:
A resolution adopting unit price bids for the supply of materials needed to maintain the City's water and sewer infrastructure.
PURPOSE:
This resolution is needed to provide an efficient process for the economic purchase of various materials needed to repair water and sewer infrastructure.
BACKGROUND:
The City's Water and Sewer Maintenance Division responsibilities include making repairs to Aurora's water and sewer system. These repairs require various materials such as piping, fittings, valves, hydrants, and the like. On October 26, 2016 quotes from nine material suppliers were opened by the Director of Purchasing. The subject bids provide unit prices from several suppliers for the majority of materials needed for typical repairs to the City's water and sewer infrastructure. The submitted unit prices can be seen in the attached Exhibit A. The prices submitted will be valid through December 31st, 2017.
DISCUSSION:
Maintaining Aurora's water and sewer infrastructure is critical in order to provide safe and reliable drinking water to our customers and to comply with state and federal environmental regulations.
The 2017 budget provides funding for these purchases within the Water and Sewer Fund in the following accounts:
510-4063-511-65-60 (Water Lines)
510-4063-511-65-65 (Sewer Lines/Sanitary)
IMPACT STATEMENT:
By providing an efficient way to purchase needed water and sewer materials, this resolution will help the City provide a higher level of service to its constituents.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
I request the proposed resolution be adopted.
