Explanation
BACKGROUND: This ordinance authorizes the Finance and Management Director to modify and renew a contract on behalf of the Facilities Management Division with Affordable Choice Electric for routine replacement and repair of existing electrical systems and also for larger scale electrical renovations for city facilities under the purview of the Facilities Management Division. The original contract with Affordable Choice Electric was formally bid through RFQ001775. Legislation was not necessary to establish the original contract because the total amount did not exceed $20,000.00. This ordinance seeks authority for the first of three one-year renewal provisions provided for within the initial contract. The Department of Finance and Management is pleased with the services provided by this vendor and requests approval to extend the contract per the original terms of the agreement. This ordinance also seeks authority to modify the contract period to ensure that it conforms with the operational needs of the Facilities Management Division.
This is contract renewal will also be funded with Public Safety funds as certain electrical renovations are needed at certain Division of Police and Fire locations. Electrical renovations will be needed to install shoor lines and branch circuits to accommodate the charging of computer equipment on new fire apparatus/equipment. Also, new electrical lines, conduit, and sub-panels will need to be installed at certain Police locations to provide power to dedicated computer servers related to Police body cameras. It should be noted that prices already established in the contract were used to determine the cost of this modification.
Emergency action is requested to allow for the uninterrupted continuation of electrical renovations for city buildings.
