Explanation

BACKGROUND: The Purchasing Office has established Universal Term Contracts FL002526 and FL002528, for water mainline and fire hydrant parts, with Midwest Pipe & Supply and Hughes Supply, respectively. The Division of Water has already encumbered $150,246.20 against these two contracts but needs to encumber additional funds for fire hydrant parts, as we are increasing our hydrant maintenance program to reduce hydrants out of service to less than 1%. Therefore, the Division of Water would like to establish additional Blanket Purchase Orders, with Midwest Pipe & Supply and Hughes Supply, for fire hydrant parts, in the amount of $161,616.25. The Contract Compliance numbers are listed below. These vendors do not have certified MBE/FBE status.

Vendor Contract Compliance #

Midwest Pipe & Supply 54-1211771 (002)
Hughes Supply 59-0559446

It is requested that this Ordinance be handled in an emergency manner, so we can repair the fire hydrants as soon as possible, for obvious safety reasons.

FISCAL IMPACT: The Division of Water, in order to achieve new goals set by the Department of Public Utilities and City Council, will re-prioritize other expenditures in order to cover these hydrants.

$14,243.00 was expended for fire hydrant parts during 2004.
$235,384.00 was expended for fire hydrant parts during 2003.
