RE:                                          Proposed Contract No. 6002149 for Lead Pak Couplings

 

MOTION

 

Upon recommendation of Mamata Burgi, Procurement Manager, the Board of Water Commissioners for the City of Detroit, Water and Sewerage Department authorizes the Director to approve Contract No. 6002149 with Motor City Pipe & Supply for lead pak couplings for a term of four (4) years at a cost not-to-exceed $3,000,000.00, and also authorizes the Director to take such other action as may be necessary to accomplish the intent of this vote.

 

BACKGROUND

 

The Maintenance and Repair Division is responsible for repairing leaking water services located on public property.  When leaks to services occur, a section of the existing service line may need to be replaced with a new short copper section.  Lead Pak couplings are brass fittings used to connect different material types such as lead to copper, lead to galvanized steel, or lead to plastic pipe.  When repairing a lead service line, DWSD also distributes filters and flushing instructions to the affected customer.

 

 

JUSTIFICATION

 

Lead Pak couplings are the most effective and efficient way of properly joining different types of piping during a repair when a lead service line is involved.

 

PROCUREMENT METHOD

 

This was an open competitively solicited Request for Bid in conformity with the requirements of DWSD’s Procurement Policy.   RFB 467082 was advertised on the MITN website on May 15, 2019 and closed on May 23, 2019 and was viewed by thirteen (13) companies, which yielded six (6) bids.

 

Procurement recommends awarding the contract to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, Motor City Pipe & Supply, and requests approval for an amount not-to-exceed $3,000,000.00.
