RECOMMENDATION TO COUNCIL
Staff recommends City Council adopt a resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute Amendment #1 to Contract Purchase Agreement (3000195) with Crown Technical Systems to increase the total contract amount for the construction and delivery of the Industrial 2 15kV Metal-clad Switchgear.
|
BACKGROUND
A formal bid process was issued in November 2019 and awarded to Crown Technical Systems by City Council on February 19, 2020 for the Industrial 2 Switchgear which will replace the existing switchgear that has reached the end of its useful life. Several items that were not included in the original design that went out to bid by City staff were later determined to be necessary and modifications had to be made by the manufacturer in order to provide the desired equipment operation.
|
FISCAL IMPACT
The total amount of the contract with Crown Technical Systems will increase by $9,238.49. This changes the total contract amount from $814,004.41 to $823,242.90. Funding is included in the Electric Department's FY2020-21 budget.
