Explanation
BACKGROUND: This ordinance authorizes the Finance and Management Director to modify a contract with Kone, Inc. for the maintenance and service of elevators in various City facilities under the purview of the Facilities Management Division. The original contract was authorized by City Council through Ordinance No. 1230-2008, passed July 21, 2008. It was renewed by Ordinance No. 0848-2009, passed June 22, 2009 and modified by Ordinance No. 1456-2009, passed October 26, 2009. The term of this contract is August 1, 2009 to June 31, 2010.
The proposed modification provides funding for elevator violations in various buildings under the purview of the Facilities Management Division. Kone, Inc. was chosen to perform this work because it is the Facilities Management Division's contractor for normal elevator maintenance. Kone, Inc. has been the elevator maintenance and service provider for the last six years. Therefore, it would not be in the best interests of the City to bid this service. Awarding it to another elevator provider could cause a conflict with the current provider's ability to maintain the equipment. This ordinance will allow the Finance and Management Director to modify and increase the contract with Kone, Inc. by $10,500.00. Prices already established in the contract were used to determine the cost of this modification.
Kone, Inc. Contract Compliance No. 36-235742; expiration date July 15, 2010.
Fiscal Impact: The Facilities Management Division budgeted $156,800.00 in the 2009 General Fund Operating Budget. The cost of the elevator contract in 2008 was $141,000.00. The cost of this modification is $10,500.00, bringing the total contract to $245,303.00. This additional expense was projected in the Third Quarterly Financial Review.
