Each year the Water and Waste Water Divisions of Public Works make numerous
purchases of parts and supplies for use in the repair and maintenance of the water
and sewer system. Last year we solicited sealed bids for the most commonly used
parts and supplies and awarded the agreements to Atlas Utility Supply, and H. D.
Supply Waterworks. That bid provided the option for 2 1-year renewals. Atlas Utility
Supply requested increases of various amounts on approximately half the awarded
items resulting in an overall increase of about 3.5%. H. D. Supply Waterworks
requested an increase of 5-8% on most of the items awarded to them.

The FY 2012 operating budgets for the Water and Waste Water divisions have
$600,000 available for maintenance of the utility systems. The prices shown on the
bid tab are based on estimatedquantities for the purpose of comparing unit pricing
and do represent the actual amount to be spent during the contract term.
