Body
BACKGROUND
This action does not encumber funds; the purpose of a master agreement is to establish firm pricing for goods, for a specific term, which are ordered on an as needed basis according to annual budgetary appropriations. The estimated amount is intended as guidance rather than a cap on spending under the agreement, so that actual need combined with the amount budgeted will determine the amount spent under this agreement.
This master agreement will provide for the purchase of general and sewer hoses, repair clamps, parts, and accessories for the Dallas Water Utilities Department (DWU). The hoses purchased under this agreement are vital to the operation of multiple City services. Departments using these hoses often require additional parts and accessories such as valves, fittings, and nozzles to be used alongside clamps and hoses to meet their specific operational needs. General hoses purchased will be used for cleaning equipment and vehicles, distributing and discharging water, and operating power tools. Repair clamps serve as permanent solutions for potable water pipeline failures, providing a fast and effective means to restore water service to customers as quickly and efficiently as possible.
DWU maintains approximately 5,087 miles of water mains throughout the distribution system.
As part of the solicitation process and in an effort to increase competition, the Office of Procurement Services used its procurement system to send out email notifications to vendors registered under relevant commodity codes. To further increase competition, the Office of Procurement Services uses historical solicitation information, the Internet, and vendor contact information obtained from user departments to contact additional vendors.
PRIOR ACTION/REVIEW (COUNCIL, BOARDS, COMMISSIONS)
