Explanation
BACKGROUND: For the option to purchase Ready Mix Concrete, FCDF, and Related Materials for the Department of Public Utilities, Division of Power and Water (Water), the largest user, and other city agencies. The term of the proposed option contracts would be through April 30, 2011 with the option to extend one additional year, subject to mutual agreement by both parties, in accordance with formal bid SA002773.

This ordinance is being submitted as an emergency because, without emergency action, no less than 37 days will be added to this procurement cycle and the efficient delivery of valuable public services will be slowed.
