RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CHULA
VISTA APPROVING THE AGREEMENT WITH AMERICAN
DIGITAL SYSTEMS (ADS) ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES FOR
THE MAINTENANCE OF NINE SEWAGE FLOW METERS FOR
FISCAL YEARS 1996-97, 1997-98 AND 1998-99
WHEREAS, the City's three year service agreement with American Digital Systems
(ADS) Environmental Services for the repair and preventative maintenance services for nine
sewage flow metering stations expired on June 30, 1996; and
WHEREAS, on June 21, 1996, the Director of Public Works received proposals from
ADS and MGD Technologies for repair and maintenance services for nine sewage flow
metering stations,
WHEREAS, based on evaluation of the proposals from the two firms, it is proposed that
the City enter into a new three year contract with ADS Environmental Services for the
following reasons:
1. ADS quoted the lower price - $30,960 for a one year contract and $29,340 per
year for a three year contract. MGD's quote was $32,244 per year for either
a one year contract or a three contract.
2. Since ADS manufactures the flow meters, they have greater accessibility to
spare parts and technological improvements.
WHEREAS, staff recommends that a three year contract be awarded in favor of a one
year contract for the following reasons:
1. The yearly cost would be lower (as given above).
2. The three year contract price of $29,340 per year is considerably lower than
either the ~36,588 annual cost paid to ADS during Fiscal Year 1995-96 or the
estimate of $37,356 per year provided to the City for budgetary purposes in
February 1996. This may be due to the current competitive situation.
Awarding a three year contract would enable us to "lock in" a favorable price.
3. A three year contract would save staff time and effort required to renegotiate
yearly contracts.
WHEREAS, in the event that installation of additional meters becomes necessary, the
price schedule allows the City to include the rnaintenance of additional meters at the cost of
~270 per meter per month for a single monitoring site and $285 per meter per month for
maintenance of a dual monitoring site which are the same unit prices used to compute the
annual contract cost based on the meters which are presently included.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED the City Council of Chula Vista does hereby
accept the proposal from ADS for the maintenance of n~ne sewage flow meters.
