BACKGROUND / JUSTIFICATION
DWSD Warehouses receive stock, store and issue inventory to various DWSD Departments to support the work of our Field Services, Maintenance, Repair, and Operations. Patch material is essential for completion of many DWSD projects. Cold patch (specification #CP-5 which is being substituted with CM-300 with Engineering approval) is used year around to patch excavation holes on streets and sidewalks made by DWSD during repairs of water and sewer assets and similar service work orders. To support their work, DWSD’s Materials Management team maintains a readily available supply at CSF warehouse. Cold patch is bid out due to the volatile pricing of the product. This contract will assure that operations will run smoothly and to replenish stock preventing emergency spot buys and possible work stoppage.
