Recommendation
Recommendation
Approve the Resolution.
Fiscal Impact
The proposed Fiscal Year 2022 Water and Sewer Fund Budget allocates funds for materials and supplies for the operation and maintenance of the water distribution and sewer collection systems in the Operational Supplies account, numbers 5040-43730-777-560631 ($120,000.00) and 5040-43750-781-560631 ($15,000.00).
Background
Six vendors provided material price bids for 2022. The materials are purchased from the lowest cost qualified vendor based on the availability and quality of the material. Staff is bringing forward agreements with vendors that exceed $25,000.00, the Village Managers spending authority. Water Products Company of Aurora, Inc. provided water & sewer materials to the Village in 2021. 2022 pricing is relatively unstable with increases in all products. Some vendors have elected to not provide pricing on some items difficult to guarantee an annual price.
Based on the bid summary and the estimate of materials needed, staff anticipates spending up to an amount of $30,000.00 of the total $135,000.00 with Water Products Company of Aurora, Inc.
Alternatives
