Explanation
BACKGROUND: This ordinance authorizes the Director of Public Utilities to modify an existing contract with SPL WorldGroup Inc., for phase 2 of the implementation and configuration of the Computerized Maintenance Management System, for the Power section of the Division of Power and Water.
Amount of additional funds to be expended: $300,000
Original contract amount: $1,600,000
Amount of original contract and modification #1: $1,900,000
Reasons additional services could not be foreseen:
This modification was expected. When the original contract was established in September 2005, the Power section did not have funding available. The Purchase Order stated that the project will be completed in 2 phases during 2006. Phase 1 was the implementation for Water and phase 2 is to implement Power's part, now that their funding is available.
Reason other procurement processes are not used:
Original contract was set up as a sole source contract. The software being implemented is proprietary to SPL WorldGroup Inc.
How cost of modification was determined:
The Power section is contributing $300,000 towards phase 2 of this contract. Original contract pricing, from phase 1, will continue with this modification, therefore, any remaining monies will be cancelled.
Emergency designation: It is requested that this Ordinance be handled in an emergency manner in order that the vendor can continue services from phase 1 into phase 2 without a delay in payment.
Contract Compliance Number: 94-3271792
FISCAL IMPACT: A transfer of funds between projects in the Voted 1995 and 1999 Street Lighting and Electricity Distribution Improvements Fund will be needed in order to establish this project.
