Title

RESOLUTION - APPROVING AWARD OF BID NO. 2017-007 WILKINS 1” DUAL CHECK BACKFLOW PREVENTER TO FORTILINE, INC.

 

Body

 

 

BACKGROUND:                     The Purchasing Division requested formal bids for an estimated annual quantity of Wilkins 1” dual check backflow preventers to be utilized by DEES.  Five firms received the bid specifications for this project and the City received four responses. The two lowest bidding firms, Fortiline and HD Supply, submitted the same bid amounts; however, the recommended vendor, Fortiline, has agreed to offer 52% off of the list price for all other Wilkins products.  They are therefore being recommended for award.  

 

 

RECOMMENDATION:                     For approval.

 

 

FISCAL IMPACT:                     Estimated initial expenditures based on bid amount of $74,970 from account 461-6009-536.65-81.  Additional bid related discounted Wilkins products may be purchased contingent upon budgeted amounts.
