Title
Resolution to Approve a Services Agreement with Utilities Instrumentation Service for Electrical and Instrumentation Support Services ($60,000.00)
Memorandum
This memorandum and resolution request approval of a services agreement for electrical and instrumentation support services with Utilities Instrumentation Service for up to $60,000.00 in FY14 with the option of two annual renewals.
In June 2013, the City issued a request for proposals to award a contract for electrical and instrumentation support services during FY14 for up to $60,000.00. The scope of work involves transformer testing, infrared testing of switchgear, testing of medium voltage breakers at City substations and generators, programming and calibration of instrumentation, Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition (SCADA) support and troubleshooting, Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) programming, and tuning and testing of dam and hydroelectric generator controls.
The City received one proposal for this work. After evaluation, it was decided that Utilities Instrumentation Service was qualified and provided competitive pricing for this work. It is therefore, recommended that City Council approve the services agreement with Utilities Instrumentation Service to provide electrical and instrumentation support services for FY14 with the option of two annual renewals.
Utilities Instrumentation Service received Human Rights approval on September 27, 2013, and complies with the living wage ordinance.
These services are to be funded from the approved FY14 Water Supply System Operations and Maintenance budget, Park Maintenance and Capital Improvement Millage, and the General Fund, Hydroelectric Fund operating budgets, for which services are rendered. Services for FY15 and FY16 will be funded from the operating budgets for these fiscal years if so approved by Council.
