Pumps & Equipment Corp., for grinder pumps, parts, accessories, control panels and repair in an annual amount up to $205,000.00 and authorize
four one-year renewal terms for the Water Department.
DISCUSSION:
The Water Department approached the Purchasing Division to procure wastewater grinder pumps, parts, accessories, control panels and repairs
for various locations throughout the City of Fort Worth. The Invitation to Bid (ITB) consisted of detailed specifications describing the parts,
accessories, repairs and training needed to meet City of Fort Worth standards. The Water Department certifies that the bids received from Zone
Industries LLC d/b/a Precision Pump Systems and Master Pumps & Equipment Corp., meet the specifications required for the items that are
being recommended.
The bid was advertised in the Fort Worth Star -Telegram on October 2, 2019, October 9, 2019, October 16, 2019 and October 23, 2019. Four bids
were received.
An administrative change order or increase may be made by the City Manager up to the amount allowed by relevant law and the Fort Worth City
Code and does not require specific City Council approval as long as sufficient funds have been appropriated.
A waiver of the goal for M/WBE subcontracting requirements was requested by the Purchasing Division and then approved by the MWBE Office,
in accordance with the MWBE or BIDE Ordinance, because the purchase of goods or services is from sources where contracting or supplier
opportunities are negligible.
This Agreement shall begin upon City Council approval and expire on September 30, 2020.
This Agreement may be renewed for up to four successive one-year terms at the City's option. This action does not require specific City Council
approval provided that the City Council has appropriated sufficient funds to satisfy the City's obligations during the renewal terms.
FISCAL INFORMATION / CERTIFICATION:
The Director of Finance certifies that upon approval of the above recommendation and award of the agreements, funds are available in the
current operating budget, as appropriated, in the Water & Sewer Fund. Prior to any expenditure being incurred, the Water Department has the
responsibility to validate the availability of funds.
