Title
Resolution to Approve a Sole Source General Services Agreement with Access Michigan LLC To Perform Repairs on Vertiv/Liebert Units at the Water Resource Recovery Facility ($46,068.00)
Memorandum
Your approval is requested to authorize a Sole Source General Services Agreement with Access Michigan LLC to perform repairs on several Vertiv/Liebert Units at the Water Resource Recovery Facility (WRRF) for the amount of $46,068.00. The WRRF also requests that a contingency in the amount of $5,000.00 be approved to fund additional necessary repairs found during this work to complete this project as approved by the City Administrator.
At the WRRF Vertiv/Liebert units (6) are used for cooling the various electrical and switchgear rooms around the plant. These rooms generate heat from the electrical equipment. Maintaining cool operating temperatures in the electrical and switchgear rooms is important to prevent the failure of electrical components that power critical equipment.
During the annual preventative maintenance inspection Access Michigan found issues with several of the Vertiv/Liebert units. One Vertiv/Liebert unit has leaking coils that need replacement and cannot be repaired. The other units have contactors, reheat elements, and a fan issue.
Access Michigan LLC is the sole supplier/exclusive representation for Vertiv Corp. equipment, parts and services in the Ann Arbor area.
It is recommended that City Council approve a sole source general services agreement with Access Michigan LLC to perform repairs on the Vertiv/Liebert units at the WRRF.
Budget/Fiscal Impact: Funds to finance this purchase are included in the approved FY26 WRRF Operations and Maintenance Budget of the Sewage Disposal System Fund. City Charter language requires sole source procurement that includes goods over $25,000.00 receive City Council approval.
