P23-E32870– Approve the purchase in the total amount of $92,659.60 for repair clamps from Ferguson Waterworks through the Cooperative Purchasing Agreement with National Cooperative Purchasing Alliance (NCPA) for Houston Public Works.
Specific Explanation:
The Director of Houston Public Works (HPW) and the Chief Procurement Officer recommend that City Council approve the purchase in the total amount of $92,659.60 for full circle repair clamps through the Cooperative Purchasing Agreement with NCPA and that authorization be given to issue a purchase order to Ferguson Waterworks.
The full circle repair clamps are used to make in-depth underground waterline repairs in order to continue to supply the citizens of Houston with sufficient water. These clamps are used to repair leaks and broken or torn out service connections. These clamps are used on heavy cast ductile iron parts, increase the life expectancy and meet the applicable AWWA C219 standards.
This recommendation is made pursuant to subsection 271.102(c) of the Texas Local Government Code, which provides that "a local government that purchases goods or services from a cooperative purchasing program or organization satisfies any state law requiring the local government to seek competitive bids for the purchase of the goods or services."

Hire Houston First:
This procurement is exempt from the City’s Hire Houston First Ordinance. Bids/proposals were not solicited because the department is utilizing an Interlocal/Cooperative Purchasing Agreement for this purchase.
