Explanation
BACKGROUND: This legislation authorizes the Finance and Management Director to modify a contract on behalf of the Facilities Management Division with Axium LLC. for professional elevator consulting services. Ordinance No. 2812-2013, passed by City Council on December 11, 2013, authorized the original contract for professional elevator consulting services.
A modification of the contract is necessary to provide funding for professional expertise as it relates to elevator condition assessments, evaluations for elevator and handicap lift renovations and upgrades, code compliance, and planning for their renovations and replacement over time. The information generated by this condition assessment will be used to develop and establish an comprehensive maintenance and service agreement for these elevators and handicapped lifts, as well as to provide a maintenance and capital improvement plan.
It is practical and cost effective for the coordination and continuity of the project to use Axium LLC. for this modification. Therefore it is not in the best interest of the City to select another contractor for these services. Prices already established in the contract were used to determine the cost of this modification.
Emergency action is requested so that elevator and handicapped lift assessment can continue without interruption.
Axium LLC, Contract Compliance No. 26-1218365, Expiration date xxx.
Fiscal Impact: The cost of this contract modification is $20,000.00. Funding will be provided from the Facilities Management General Fund budget.
