City Council Report 
 
Date: 
August 17, 2026 
To: 
City Council 
Through: 
Michael Kennington, Deputy City Manager/Chief Financial Officer 
From: 
Edward Quedens, Business Services Director 
 
Kristy Garcia, Procurement Administrator 
Subject: 
Dollar Limit Increase to the Cooperative Use Term Contract for Industrial 
Plumbing Supplies for the Water Resources and Facilities Management 
Departments (Citywide) 
 
Recommendation 
 
Council is requested to approve the award as recommended.  
 
The Water Resources and Facilities Management Departments and Procurement Services 
recommend increasing the dollar limit with Ferguson Enterprises, Inc., by $300,000, from 
$100,000 to an amount not to exceed $400,000 annually, with an annual increase 
allowance of up to 5% or the adjusted Consumer Price Index. 
 
Background / Discussion 
 
This contract provides critical water system components, such as valves, pipe fittings, fire 
hydrants, and repair parts, needed to support both routine maintenance and emergency 
repairs within the City’s water distribution system and City-owned hydrants. These 
materials are used daily by Water Resources crews to maintain reliable water service, 
perform scheduled maintenance, repair leaks, replace aging infrastructure, and ensure 
hydrants remain fully operational for fire protection. Immediate access to these components 
is essential for preventing service interruptions, reducing water loss, and safeguarding 
public health and safety.  
 
A dollar limit increase is needed due to the Facilities Management Department being added 
to the contract. Facilities Management maintains over 400 city buildings and most require 
plumbing services. Materials are needed to support both routine maintenance and 
emergency repair activities. Maintaining a ready inventory will enable Facilities 
Management to respond quickly to system failures, manage costs effectively, and avoid 
delays associated with sourcing materials on an as-needed basis.  
 
The State of Arizona cooperative contract has been competitively bid and meets the City’s 
procurement requirements. Utilizing the State of Arizona contract allows the City to receive 
competitive rates based on a formally solicited agreement. The City believes the pricing is 
fair and reasonable and soliciting for these products would not result in the City receiving 
more favorable pricing or terms.
