Title
Resolution to Approve a General Services Agreement with Kennedy Industries, Inc. for Pump Maintenance and Repair Services ($230,000.00) (RFP-21-15)
Memorandum
This memorandum and resolution requests approval of a general services agreement for pump repair and maintenance services with Kennedy Industries, Inc. for up to $230,000.00 through FY24, without regard to fiscal year.
The Water Treatment Services Unit (WTSU) has over 60 pumps of various types that are used for the treatment and distribution of the City’s drinking water supply. These pumps require periodic maintenance and repair, and, occasionally, emergency repair services.
In March 2021, the City issued a request for proposal to award one contract for pump repair and maintenance services for a total of up to $230,000.00 through FY24. The scope of work involves preventative maintenance, repair, and replacement services for all pumps within the City’s WTSU.
On May 13th, 2021 the city received two proposals for RFP-21-15 from Kennedy Industries and Lyon Mechanical. Based on the evaluation criteria included in the request for proposal, it is recommended that Kennedy Industries, Inc. be awarded a general services agreement to provide pump maintenance and repair services.
Kennedy Industries, Inc. was deemed the only qualified bidder and provided competitive pricing for this work. Lyon Mechanical was deemed unqualified due to a lack of experience with pump rebuilds and maintenance required by the WTSU.
Kennedy Industries, Inc. has demonstrated they possess the professional capacity to perform all WTSU pump repair and maintenance needs.
It is therefore recommended that City Council approve the general services agreement with Kennedy Industries, Inc. to provide pump repair and maintenance for $230,000.00 through FY24, without regard to fiscal year.
Kennedy Industries, Inc. complies with the requirements of the City’s Conflict of Interest, Non-Discrimination, and Living Wage Ordinances.
These services are to be funded from the approved FY22 Water Supply System operating budget, and the FY23 and FY24 Water Supply System operating budget if so, approved by Council.
Budget/Fiscal Impact: These services are to be funded from the approved FY22 Water Supply System operating budget, and the FY23 and FY24 Water Supply System operating budget if so, approved by Council.
