Agenda Item Brief:

Staff is requesting approval of the purchase of Crafco Poly Flex II in the amount of $110,000 in support of the 2014/2015 corrective maintenance program.



Background:

Crafco Poly Flex II is the product used in the crack sealing process when performing maintenance on City streets. This product has proven to give the City the best performance compared with similar products on the market. The Maintenance Division estimates the amount of the product needed to complete the work for the season, and purchases accordingly.



Analysis:

The City will be utilizing the “joinder” provision allowed under NRS 332.115. Specifically, the City will be using a contract for these materials that was issued by the State of Nevada, to Crafco, Inc. The State’s bid represented very high qualities of material and the City is able to join this contract and leverage those higher volumes to our benefit.



Alternatives:

1. Council could approve this purchase as outlined by staff.

2. Council could deny this purchase.

3. Council could direct staff to provide alternatives to this purchase.



Recommended Motion:

I move to approve the purchase of Crafco Poly Flex II in the amount of $110,000.
