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 plumbing pipe, fittings, fixtures, trim, and parts for citywide use. These supplies are used throughout the City to supply fresh water and aid in the removal of wastewater. This agreement will ensure that the City continues to meet minimum standards set by local, state, federal, and institutional agencies for pipe and pipe fitting installation. All plumbing fixtures for fresh water must also meet criteria for lead content that is set by the National Sanitation Foundation 61 certification and American National Standards Institute standards. This purchase will also be used to maintain facilities, recreation centers and swimming pools.
