Explanation
BACKGROUND: This ordinance authorizes the Finance and Management Director to modify and renew a contract with Kone, Inc. for the maintenance of elevators in various city buildings in the amount of $169,104.00 for the Facilities Management Division, covering the period of August 1, 2006, through July 31, 2007. The renewal will cover forty-one elevators. This is one more elevator than in the current contract, and one less escalator. 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 and Ordinance 1236-2005, passed July 27, 2005, in the amount of $153,000.00. The original contract has four renewal options. This modification exercises the third of the four renewal options. Other than normal year-to-year maintenance, this contract will also include: the installation of an aluminum tread floor in the Health Department's freight elevator, the correction of a State-cited deficiency at 1393 East Broad Street, changing out key switches at the Municipal Court building for the security of the Deputy Sheriffs in the jail elevator, and the installation of Code Date Tags in all elevators under the purview of the Facilities Management Division.
Emergency action is requested so that the service agreement can renew by August 1, 2006, thereby protecting the safety of elevator users.
Fiscal Impact: The contract modification will cost $169,104.00, including a contingency of $12,892.00. The Facilities Management Division budgeted $166,000.00 for this expense in 2006. The additional $3,104.00 will be made up through reductions in other areas of the Facilities Management General Fund budget. Kone, Inc. Contract Compliance Number 36-2357423, exp. 07/13/2008.
