NO. 06-064) <br /> <br />APPROVED <br /> <br />o As Recommended <br />o As Amended <br />o Ordinance on 1" Reading <br />o Ordinance on 20d Reading <br />o Implementing Resolution <br />o Set Public Hearing For <br /> <br />f2JI};;::L <br /> <br />CITY MANAGER <br /> <br />CONTINUED TO <br /> <br />FILE NUMBER <br /> <br />RECOMMENDED ACTION <br /> <br />Amend the contract with Williams & Maher, Inc., for electrical services by <br />$90,000 for a total amount not to exceed $290,000 annually. <br /> <br />DISCUSSION <br /> <br />The City maintains approximately 60 facilities that are wired for <br />electrical services, including City Hall, the Corporate Yard, fire <br />stations, recreation and senior centers, libraries, and park restrooms. <br />These public buildings range from ten to 50 years old, requiring varying <br />levels of electrical maintenance service; from rewiring and relamping, <br />installation of outlets, and general maintenance to upgrading of outdated <br />electric systems and occasionally, unanticipated major projects. <br /> <br />On June 5, 2006, City Council awarded a contract to Williams & Maher, Inc., <br />a Santa Ana vendor, for electrical services in an annual amount of $200,000 <br />for a two-year term. This projected cost was based on prior year usage and <br />staff estimates for scheduled preventative maintenance projects. Due to <br />several unanticipated requirements, including installation of <br />telecommunications wiring for the relocated Fire Department training <br />facilities, energy saving variable frequency drives at the Santa Ana Police <br />Administration and Holding Facility, and emergency power for the Treasury <br />Division's City Hall customer service center, usage has exceeded staff <br />estimates by approximately $90,000 for the current year. <br /> <br />Additionally, as a component of the preventative electrical maintenance, <br />the Building Maintenance Supervisor has modified the estimated usage for <br />next year, adding relamping of several Fire Stations and electrical <br />upgrades and enhancements for the three computer centers serving the City <br />Hall, the Police Administration Facility and the Fire Department. <br />Therefore, staff recommends authorizing an amendment to the contract by <br />$90,000 for each year of the two-year contract. <br /> <br />220-1 <br />
