CONSENT CALENDAR
TO: THE HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: RANDY NORIEGA, DIRECTOR OF PARK PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT
VIA: RICK COLE, CITY MANAGER
DATE: APRIL 7, 2003
SUBJECT: REQUEST FOR PURCHASE ORDER TO AZUSA WHOLESALE PLUMBING FOR 15 NEW PARK
DRINKIGN FONTAINS FOR AMOUNT OF $24,994.25
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that City Council approve a purchase order with Azusa Wholesale Plumbing for fifteen
(15) new park drinking fountains to replace non-ADA accessible fixtures at various parks, in the amount of
$24,994.25.
BACKGROUND:
The new Park Planning and Development Office has been entrusted with the responsibility of catching up
on deferred maintenance issues. Few of the existing park drinking fountains meet ADA accessibility
standards and a high percentage of the existing park drinking fountains are in disrepair. The purchase of
fifteen (15) new drinking fountains will go a long way in remedying our current situation. Drinking
fountains will be replaced at Pioneer, Slauson, Gladstone, Northside and Memorial Parks. In true team
fashion, the Parks Division has agreed to install the new fountains in the first quarter of fiscal year 2004.
Mountain Cove CFD Funds for new drinking fountains were programmed for Pioneer and Northside
Parks; budget figures for each park were estimated for “Contractor installed” fountains. Because of the
severe lack of usable park drinking fountains throughout the park system it was determined to purchase
as many drinking fountains and install them at Memorial, Northside, Pioneer, Slauson and Gladstone
Parks with our Parks Division doing the installation.
The process used to secure price quotes was to issue a notice to retailers of the Haws Drinking Fountains
that the City of Azusa requested price quotes on 15 drinking fountains. Three companies submitted
quotes, they were as follows:
Azusa Wholesale Plumbing $24,994.25
Ferguson Enterprises $25,574.06
Plumbing Wholesale Outlet $26,629.50
This informal process conforms to the purchasing policy as adopted by the City of Azusa.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The purchase has no fiscal impact on the General Fund. The requested ($24,994.25) cost of the fountains
will be entirely funded by the Mountain Cove CFD account. $15,000 has been allocated to Pioneer Park’s
CFD budget and $10,000 has been allocated in Northside Park’s CFD budget.
