BACKGROUND: On September 16, 2025, the City entered into a Cooperative Purchasing Agreement with Western Environmental Equipment Co. utilizing a City of Phoenix cooperative contract for the purchase of flow meters, level meters, and related services. Flow meters are essential components of the City’s wastewater system and are used to measure flow velocity and monitor system performance to ensure regulatory compliance and operational efficiency. Western Environmental also provides advanced analyses on wastewater, which is very beneficial with Tolleson's unique flow characteristics. DISCUSSION: Western Environmental Equipment Co. provides the installation, maintenance, and service of flow measurement devices. They also assist in providing advanced analytical services for the characterization of wastewater. The Utilities Department has identified a need for additional equipment and services to support ongoing operations and system monitoring. This First Amendment increases the annual aggregate amount from $100,000 to $200,000 to accommodate the expanded scope of services and ensure continuity of operations. All other terms and conditions of the original Agreement remain unchanged. BUDGET IMPACT: The annual aggregate amount will increase from $100,000 to $200,000. Funding is available within the Utilities Department budget and will be expended as needed for equipment and related services. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the First Amendment to the Cooperative Purchasing Agreement with Western Environmental Equipment Co. to increase the annual aggregate amount for flow meter equipment and related services.
