Explanation

BACKGROUND: This ordinance authorizes the Finance and Management Director to increase contract ED025144 with Waterworks for emergency repairs of plumbing throughout City facilities. This contract was originally authorized purchase order ED025144, approved February 17, 2006, for the period February 15, 2006 through February 14, 2007. This was increased by $10,000 by ED027708, approved June 7, 2006. This ordinance requests that the contract be increased by $10,000. Of the original $20,000.00, only $4,138.58 remains. The Facilities Management Division has experienced much higher than anticipated emergency plumbing costs in 2006.

The original purchase order was authorized after formal proposals were solicited on December 13, 2005. One firm submitted a proposal on December 20, 2005 as follows: (0 MBE, 0 FBE).

Waterworks: Regular Labor - $88/hour; Overtime - $110/hour; Sundays & Holidays - $130/hour
Journeyman Labor - $88/hour; Overtime - $110/hour; Sundays & Holidays - $130/hour
Apprentice Labor - $50/hour; Overtime - $75/hour; Sundays & Holidays - $90/hour

It was the recommendation of the Facilities Management Division to award this contract to the most responsive and responsible bidder, Waterworks.

Emergency Action is requested so that funding is available to correct emergency plumbing problems throughout City facilities.

Fiscal Impact: The contract increase is for $10,000.00. This would make the total contract $30,000.00. The Facilities Management Division budgeted $20,000.00 for this contract in the 2006 Budget. The shortfall will be made up through other service cost savings. The cost for this service in 2005 was $9,544.46. Waterworks Contract Compliace Number 31-1162504, exp. 01/23/2007.
