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 plastic sewer couplings and lateral cleanouts for the Dallas Water Utilities Department (DWU). Staff use couplings for various types of pipe connections throughout the wastewater collection pipeline system. In addition, sewer pipe reducer couplings are used to lessen the pipes diameters, provide cut-ins where a section of pipe is removed, and fitting inserted help to expand joints for extending pipe. Lateral cleanouts give DWU staff easy access to main sewer and wastewater pipelines for routine inspection, maintenance, blockage removal, and repair jobs. Maintaining lateral cleanouts helps to facilitate system maintenance. Couplings and laterals cleanouts are replaced due to age and damage. DWU repair staff complete approximately 1,500 sewer repairs each year and maintain approximately 4,081 miles of wastewater mainlines.
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.
