HEARING:
SUBJECT: Authorize Execution of Non-Exclusive Purchase Agreements with United Rentals (North
America), Inc., and Xylem Dewatering Solutions, Inc., d/b/a Godwin Pumps of America,
for Pump and Hose Rental in an Annual Amount Up to $300,000.00 and Authorize Five
Annual Renewal Options for the Water Department(ALL COUNCIL DISTRICTS)
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council authorize the execution of non-exclusive Purchase
Agreements with United Rentals (North America), Inc., and Xylem Dewatering Solutions, Inc., d/b/a
Godwin Pumps of America, for pump and hose rental in an annual amount up to $300,000.00 and
authorize five annual renewal options for the Water Department.
DISCUSSION:
The Water Department approached the Purchasing Division to establish an annual Agreement for the
purchase of pump and hose rental to replace and repair plant-wide equipment as a part of City
facilities maintenance and operations for the Water Department on an as-needed basis. Staff issued
an Invitation to Bid (ITB) consisting of detailed specifications to 17 related vendors. The ITB was
advertised in the Fort Worth Star-Telegram on August 15, 2018, August 22, 2018 and August 29,
2018. The City received three bids. See attached Bid Tabulation.
Staff recommends awarding contracts to United Rentals (North America), Inc., and Xylem Solutions,
Inc., d/b/a Godwin Pumps of America, with five annual options to renew. No guarantee was made
regarding the amount of these items that would be purchased. The ITB amount for the department's
annual requirements is$300,000.00. The proposed contract would allow the unit price to be
increased so long as the City approves the increase. In addition, an administrative change order or
increase may be made by the City Manager in the amount up to $50,000.00 and does not require
specific City Council approval as long as sufficient funds have been appropriated.
The Water Department reviewed the pricing and found pricing to be fair and reasonable.
M/WBE Office-A waiver of the goal for M/WBE subcontracting requirements was requested by the
Purchasing Division and approved by the M/WBE Office because the purchase of goods or services
is from sources where subcontracting or supplier opportunities are negligible.
Upon City Council approval, the Agreement shall begin upon execution of the Agreement and shall
end on September 30, 2019. The City shall have five options to renew the Agreement; four one-year
renewal periods (October 1 to September 30) and the fifth renewal period which shall run from
October 1 to the anniversary of the date of execution.
FISCAL INFORMATION/CERTIFICATION:
The approval of this action provides purchasing authority up to $300,000.00 as specified. The
Director of Finance certifies that funds are available in the current operating budget, as appropriated,

and that prior to an expenditure being made, the participating Department has the responsibility to
validate the availability of funds. Future year appropriations are subject to Mayor and Council
approval.
