Explanation
BACKGROUND: This legislation authorizes the Finance and Management Director to enter into a contract on behalf of the Office of Construction Management with EFS West for the installation of additional Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) storage at 4211 Groves Road. The CNG facility was originally designed in phases to allow expansion that aligned with the growth of the City’s CNG fleet size. This expansion will also reduce the usage of the current compressors to help extend their life expectancy. The facility has been providing CNG fuel to the City’s Fleet CNG vehicles and the public.
Formal bids were solicited and the City received one proposal on December 20, 2013 as follows (0 FBE, 0 MBE):
EFS West $249,500.00
The Office of Construction Management recommends the bid award be made to the most responsive and responsible bidder, EFS West.
Emergency action is requested so the necessary installation of the compressed natural gas (CNG) storage equipment can occur, thereby expanding the use of CNG fuel to the City’s Fleet CNG vehicles and the public.
EFS West Contract Compliance No. 30-0188416, expiration date May 22, 2015.
Fiscal Impact: The cost of this project is $249,500.00. Funding is available in the Fleet Management Capital Improvement Fund.
