Tempe W.T.P.), 3016 (Water Field Facilities), 3034 (Kyrene W.R.F.), 3035 (Wastewater Field Facilities) 
and 3007 (Tempe Town Lake Operations and Maintenance) for anticipated expenditures in the current

RECOMMENDATION: Approve the contract renewal.
 
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: (WUD25-007) City Council approved this supplemental contract 
award on August 26, 2024, for an initial 18-month period with three, one-year renewal options to 
Arizona Pump Resources for the purchase and repair of chemical dosing pumps and water and 
wastewater pumps. The renewal of this contract is necessary as this vendor supplements existing 
contracts (WUD24-038-01, 02 and 03) that provide similar products and services. Water Utilities 
maintains in-house staff to perform repairs, but maintaining each of these contracts is necessary to 
ensure adequate availability for critical components utilized at the City’s water treatment facilities. This 
is the first of three, one-year renewal options.
