RECOMMENDED ACTION
Amend the contract with Williams & Maher, Inc., for electrical services by
$90,000 for a total amount not to exceed $290,000 annually.
DISCUSSION
The City maintains approximately 60 facilities that are wired for
electrical services, including City Hall, the Corporate Yard, fire
stations, recreation and senior centers, libraries, and park restrooms.
These public buildings range from ten to 50 years old, requiring varying
levels of electrical maintenance service; from rewiring and relamping,
installation of outlets, and general maintenance to upgrading of outdated
electric systems and occasionally, unanticipated major projects.
On June 5, 2006, City Council awarded a contract to Williams & Maher, Inc.,
a Santa Ana vendor, for electrical services in an annual amount of $200,000
for a two-year term. This projected cost was based on prior year usage and
staff estimates for scheduled preventative maintenance projects. Due to
several unanticipated requirements, including installation of
telecommunications wiring for the relocated Fire Department training
facilities, energy saving variable frequency drives at the Santa Ana Police
Administration and Holding Facility, and emergency power for the Treasury
Division's City Hall customer service center, usage has exceeded staff
estimates by approximately $90,000 for the current year.
Additionally, as a component of the preventative electrical maintenance,
the Building Maintenance Supervisor has modified the estimated usage for
next year, adding relamping of several Fire Stations and electrical
upgrades and enhancements for the three computer centers serving the City
Hall, the Police Administration Facility and the Fire Department.
Therefore, staff recommends authorizing an amendment to the contract by
$90,000 for each year of the two-year contract.
