Title
Resolution to Approve Purchasing Agreements for Utility Infrastructure Materials from Core and Main LP (Not-to-Exceed $789,392.68) and Ferguson Waterworks (Not-to-Exceed $76,306.00) for One Year (ITB-4743)
Memorandum
Attached for your review and consideration for approval is a resolution authorizing two separate 1-year purchasing agreements with Core and Main LP and Ferguson Waterworks for utility infrastructure materials.
ITB-4743 was advertised on the City's website and on the Michigan Inter-governmental Trade Network (MITN) website. Three (3) bids were received and publicly opened on April 10, 2024. Core and Main LP was the lowest responsible bidder for the materials listed in groups 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 11, 12, 14, 15 and 16. Ferguson Waterworks was the lowest responsible bidder for the materials listed in groups 9 and 13. The pricing for group 9 provided by Core and Main LP was only $670.20 more than the low bidder. Group 9 will be awarded to Core and Main LP due to the long lead times we have experienced all year purchasing these items from Ferguson Waterworks. There are items in this group that were ordered last October that we are still waiting for and currently in stock and available from Core and Main LP.
The three bidders were:
1. Core & Main LP
2. Ferguson Waterworks
3. EJ USA Inc.
The recommended purchase orders to Core and Main LP and Ferguson Waterworks will allow for the purchase of water, sanitary sewer, and stormwater infrastructure materials commonly used in maintenance, repair and replacement activities.
Budget/Fiscal Impact: Funding is available in the approved FY24 and FY25 Sewage Disposal, Stormwater Fund, and Water Supply System Operations and Maintenance Budgets. Any materials purchased for capital or project related expenditures will be charged to the appropriate funding source.
Core and Main LP and Ferguson Waterworks comply with the City's Non-Discrimination ordinance.
