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 allow for the purchase of automatic flushing devices and sampling stations with parts and accessories for the Water Utilities Department. Sampling stations provide a safe and corrosion resistant environment for regulated water sampling programs within the potable water system.
The automatic flushing device allows flushing to occur during off-peak hours and allows water to be recaptured within the wastewater system. Flushing and sampling programs are an important part of water quality management. An automatic flushing device is an effective and efficient tool for accomplishing Texas Commission on Environmental Quality regulated pipeline flushing.
The Water Utilities Department maintains approximately 300,000 water services within its 5,047-mlle water distribution network.
