SUBJECT
Title
Authorize a five-year master agreement for the purchase of clamps, couplings, sleeves, and adapters for the Dallas Water Utilities Department - Core & Main LP in the estimated amount of $2,757,000.00 and Powerseal Pipeline Products Corporation in the estimated amount of $20,000.00, lowest responsible bidders of two - Total estimated amount of $2,777,000.00 - Financing: Dallas Water Utilities Fund
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 clamps, couplings, sleeves, and adapters for the Dallas Water Utilities Department (DWU). DWU uses these materials for the installation and/or repair of water mains and service lines within the potable water treatment facilities and distribution piping system. This master agreement enables DWU to acquire and stock needed parts with minimal delay, reducing repair time and interruption of water service to its customers. Access to these supplies will allow the Department to repair pipes, water meters, bypass valves, and other equipment as needs arise. DWU maintains approximately 5,090 miles of water mains throughout the water distribution system and performs over 3,250 water main and service repairs annually due to external corrosion, system loads, and ground shift.
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.

On August 10, 2022, the City Council authorized a three-year master agreement for the purchase of clamps, couplings, sleeves, and adapters for the Water Utilities Department with Core & Main LP, by Resolution No. 22-1115.
