Title

Substitute resolution directing the Commissioner of Public Works, the Superintendent of Water Works and the City Attorney to study the feasibility of establishing a local manufacturer for items needed in the replacement of water infrastructure.

Analysis

This resolution directs the Commissioner of Public Works and the City Attorney, with the assistance of the Superintendent of Water Works, to study the feasibility of establishing a local manufacturer for items needed in the replacement of water infrastructure and to report their findings to the Common Council within 60 days.

Body

Whereas, Milwaukee’s water infrastructure, including pumping and treatment facilities, distribution lines and sewers, frequently requires repair and upgrading, including replacement of various items; and

 

Whereas, The City is responsible for the purchase of items needed in the replacement of water infrastructure, either directly or through City contractors; and

 

Whereas, The City supports local industry and employers in a variety of ways, including  through the Local Business Enterprise Contracting Program, which provides bid incentives for local business enterprises on City contracts; and

 

Whereas, The City also supports local business and manufacturers through City purchasing regulations that require, subject to certain limitations, the purchase of Milwaukee-made goods for purchases subject to formal competitive bidding, and if Milwaukee-made goods are not available, Milwaukee County-made goods; and

 

Whereas, The Common Council desires information about the feasibility of establishing a local manufacturer for items needed in the replacement of water infrastructure; now, therefore, be it

 

Resolved, By the Common Council of the City of Milwaukee, that the Commissioner of Public Works and the City Attorney are directed to study the feasibility of establishing a local manufacturer for items needed in the replacement of water infrastructure; and, be it

 

Further Resolved, That the Superintendent of Water Works is directed to assist the Commissioner of Public Works and the City Attorney in conducting the study; and, be it

Further Resolved, That the Commissioner of Public Works, the Superintendent of Water Works and the City Attorney are directed to report their findings to the Common Council within 60 days of the adoption of this resolution.
