REQUEST FOR <br />COUNCIL ACTION <br />CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: <br />FEBRUARY 16, 2016 <br />TITLE: <br />CONTRACT AWARD TO <br />KONE, INC. FOR FREIGHT <br />SERVICE ELEVATOR MOTOR <br />REBUILD (SPEC. NO. 15 -132) <br />(STRATEGIC PLAN NO, 6,2) <br />CITY MANAGE <br />RECOMMENDED ACTION <br />CLERK OF COUNCIL USE ONLY: <br />•:• _k <br />E <br />As Recommended <br />E] <br />As Amended <br />E] <br />Ordinance on 161 Reading <br />0 <br />Ordinance on 2nd Reading <br />Cl <br />Implementing Resolution <br />0 <br />Set Public Hearing For <br />CONTINUED TO <br />FILE NUMBER <br />Authorize a one -time purchase and payment to KONE, Inc. for rebuilding the failed hoist motor in <br />freight elevator number 4H in the Police Department Detention Facility in an amount not to <br />exceed $44,000.00, subject to non - substantive changes approved by the City Manager and City <br />Attorney. <br />DISCUSSION <br />On May 20, 2015, KONE, Inc., the original equipment manufacturer of the Jail freight service <br />elevator 4H, completed the manufacture and installation of a new circuit board driver on the <br />elevator. During the installation of the new circuit board driver it was discovered that the hoist <br />motor is in need of repair /rebuilding due to an internal wiring malfunction. This condition was not <br />detectable with a non - operable circuit board driver. Jail elevator 4H is the only freight service <br />elevator in the Jail with roof access. The inoperable service elevator has precluded Building <br />Maintenance staff and contractors from completing necessary repairs as they are unable to <br />transport heavy equipment to the roof and various housing units. Having a fully operational <br />service elevator will ensure that staff can transport personnel and equipment to multiple floors <br />during normal operations, and more importantly during an emergency. <br />The State of California must certify the elevator for operation and will only certify the circuit board <br />driver from the original equipment manufacturer, KONE, Inc. In order to prevent any potential <br />damage to the already State certified driver when the rebuilt motor is connected and powered up, <br />staff has determined that KONE, Inc. is the best qualified to perform the motor repair. <br />STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT <br />Approval of this item allows the City to meet Goal #6 - Community Facilities & Infrastructure, <br />Objective #2 (address deferred maintenance on City buildings and equipment). <br />2213-1 <br />
