Explanation
To authorize the Director of Public Utilities to enter into contract with The Kerry Company, Inc. for the inspection, testing and repair of the Kerry Actuators on crest gates at the Hoover Dam for the Division of Water.
The crest gates at the Hoover Dam allow control by staff to adjust the level of the reservoir. There are 8 crest gates located across the dam under the deck at the high water level. Each gate has two actuators. We have at least two bad check valve blocks that will need replaced in the actuators. Each gate can be manipulated up and down by staff either remotely or on site to control the water level. The gates are sometimes lowered to allow water to drop in cases of flooding. It is critical that these actuators be inspected, tested and repaired to avoid any leaks or failures.
The Kerry Company, Inc. is the original manufacturer of the hydraulic actuators on the crest gates and is the Sole Source provider for the check valve blocks that are in need of replacement.
This ordinance is being submitted in accordance with the relevant provisions of Chapter 329 of City Code relating to Sole Source procurement. A letter from the vendor is attached to this ordinance.
