Explanation
BACKGROUND: This ordinance authorizes the Public Service Director to modify and renew a contract (EL003699) with Kone, Inc. for the maintenance of elevators in various city buildings in the amount of $153,000.00 for the Facilities Management Division, covering the period of August 1, 2005, through July 31, 2006. The renewal will cover forty elevators and one escalator. This is one more elevator than in the current contract. This contract was first authorized by City Council on July 22, 2003, by Ordinance No. 1051-2003, in the amount of $122,656.11. It was renewed by Ordinance 1025-2004, passed June 23, 2004, in the amount of $142,000.00. The original contract has four renewal options. This modification exercises the second of the four renewal options. In addition to the one new elevator, this contract will also include the legally required five-year, full-load, rated-speed safety tests at the Municipal Court building. To avoid inconveniencing the tenants, these tests are conducted during evening hours, resulting in overtime costs.
Emergency action is requested so that the service agreement can renew by August 1, 2005, thereby protecting the safety of elevator users.
Fiscal Impact: The contract modification will cost $153,000.00, including a contingency of $8,700.00. The Facilities Management Division budgeted $150,000.00 for this expense in 2005. The additional $3,000 will be made up through reductions in other areas of the Facilities Management General Fund budget.
