Agenda Item
Resolution - Public Works:
Consider a resolution authorizing the Mayor to execute Sole Source Contract 15777, with Hydra-Stop, for a service agreement to provide Hydra-Stop parts, fittings and insertion valves.
Item Summary
On February 25, 2019, the City Council approved the purchase of Hydra-Stop insertion valve equipment from KW Sharp, for use by our water pipeline crews. This Hydra-Stop insertion valve equipment is used in emergency situations when valve failure occurs to assist in shutting off water within the system. Since the Hydra-Stop equipment was purchased, pipeline crews have successfully installed more than 20 insertion valves within our distribution system. These Hydra-Stop valves were also purchased through KW Sharp.
The current item for consideration is a service agreement with the manufacturer, Hydra-Stop, to provide insertion valves, fitting, and parts directly to the City of Lubbock warehouse. This will allow for shorter lead times during times of emergency, by having parts available in the warehouse. This contract will also lower costs by allowing direct purchase from the manufacturer.
Fiscal Impact
The estimated annual expenditure for these insertion valves under this service agreement is $100,000, and may be more or less depending upon the needs of the water system. These insertion valves will be inventory within the warehouse, and the parts will be charged to operating or capital as they are used within the distribution system.
