Title
Add Funds to Manhole Covers, Rings, and Meter Boxes Contract (Ordinance S-45861)
Description
Request to authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to add funds to Contract 144688, Arizona Water Works Supply for purchase of manhole covers, rings, and meter boxes. Further request to authorize the City Controller to disburse all funds related to this item. The additional funds will not exceed $275,000.
Report
Summary
The Water Services Department uses manhole covers, rings, and meter boxes for new installation as well as repair and replacement of the current City infrastructure. This amendment is necessary to accommodate the increased rate of replacement of existing infrastructure as a result of both increased inspections from the Water Services Department and the Council approved Accelerated Pavement Maintenance Program which enabled rehabilitation of City streets sooner than previously anticipated.
Financial Impact
The initial aggregate contract was executed for value not to exceed $350,000 with a later amendment that increased the contract value by an additional $25,000. This amendment will increase the contract by an additional $275,000, for a new total not-to-exceed $650,000.
