Mayor and Council Communication
DATE: Tuesday, September 27, 2022 REFERENCE NO.: **M&C 22-0746
LOG NAME: 13P ITB 22-0175 SUBMERSIBLE PUMPS SERVICE AND REPAIRS HO WATER
SUBJECT:
(ALL)Authorize Execution of Non-Exclusive Agreements with FCX Performance Inc. dba Pierce Pump,
Smith Pump Company, and Zone Industries dba Precision Pump Systems for Submersible Pumps Service
and Repair in a Combined Annual Amount Up to$450,000.00 for the Water Department and Authorize
Four One-Year Renewal Options for the Same Annual Amount
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council authorize non-exclusive agreements with FCX Performance Inc.
dba Pierce Pump, Smith Pump Company, and Zone Industries dba Precision Pump Systems for
submersible pumps service and repair in a combined annual amount up to$450,000.00 for the Water
Department and authorize four one-year renewal options for the same annual amount.
DISCUSSION:
The Water Department approached the Purchasing Division for assistance with securing an agreement for
submersible pumps service and repairs on an as-needed basis. Under the proposed agreement, the
Vendor will provide repair services on the Water Department's submersible pumps used in the water and
wastewater treatment processes. Purchasing issued an Invitation to Bid (ITB)that consisted of detailed
specifications for the submersible pumps the City utilizes and the requirements to provide repair services.
ITB 22-0175 was advertised in the Fort Worth Star-Telegram for four consecutive Wednesdays beginning
on July 6, 2022, through July 27, 2022. The City received four responses. However, upon evaluation,
Odessa Pumps & Equipment did not score at least 50\% or more of the total available points for technical
criteria and, therefore, were not qualified to receive pricing points.
An evaluation panel consisting of representatives from Water and Transportation and Public Works
Departments reviewed and scored the submittals using Best Value criteria. The individual scores were
averaged for each of the criteria and the final scores are listed in the table below.

Pump Systems. No guarantee was made that a specific amount of services would be purchased. Staff
certifies that the recommended vendors' bids met specifications.

available budget. Funding is budgeted in the Water Department's rollup within the Water&Sewer Fund.

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.

appropriated, in the Water and Sewer Fund to support the approval of the above recommendation and
award of the agreement. Prior to any expenditure being incurred, the Water Department has the
responsibility to validate the availability of funds.
