PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION

None.

 

BACKGROUND

The City received four bids through Cit-E-Bid for awarding a contract for providing the Utilities Department with mega lugs, full circle clamps, and meter boxes. All materials will be ordered on an as needed basis. Staff is recommending that this contract be awarded to the section low bidders Core & Main, Aguaworks Pipe & Supply, and Ferguson Waterworks. On Section I, Tenoch Distribution was deemed not a responsible bidder due to prior contract delivery issues. On Section III, Aguaworks Pipe & Supply submitted pricing for clamps that are not 316 stainless steel as required in the bid specification.  This contract will be the responsibility of and administered by the vendor and the City of Laredo Utilities Department.

Comments:
Section I: Tenoch Distribution****FY20-065 Delivery delays of supplies, unable to meet delivery commitments (email documentation attached).
Section III: Aguaworks Pipe & Supply**** Romanac Clamps are not 316 Stainless Steel and therefore non-compliant.

A complete bid tabulation and recommendation is attached.
