Title
Resolution to Approve an Amendment to the Purchase Order with Parkson Corporation for Bar Screen Replacement Parts and On-site Repair Services at the Wastewater Treatment Plant (Not to Exceed $20,000.00)
Memorandum
Your approval is requested to authorize an amendment in an amount not to exceed $20,000.00 to the existing $37,340.00 Purchase Order (PO) with Parkson Corporation (Parkson), for a total amount not to exceed $57,340.00. The scope of services for this PO is to provide replacement parts and on-site repair services for the Lynx Grabber Automatic Bar Screen system at the City's Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP).
On September 18, 2017, Council approved a sole source PO with Parkson in the amount of $37,340.00 based on their on-site visual inspection and assessment of the parts and services needed to repair the bar screen system. While Parkson's service technicians were dismantling the bar screen system for repairs, they found unforeseeable damage to the metal tracks upon which the bar screen rake travels. As a result, fabrication of U-bars and assembly with cog rail parts needs to be performed by Parkson at an additional cost of $9,246.00. As part of the $20,000.00 amendment to the PO, WWTP staff is requesting a contingency of $10,754.00 to fund repairs of any other unforeseeable issues with the bar screen system.
Parkson complies with the requirements of the City's Non-Discrimination and Living Wage ordinances.
Funds to finance this purchase are included in the approved FY18 WWTP Operation and Maintenance Budget for the Sewage Disposal System.
