TITLE
Recommendation to authorize City Manager, or designee, to execute all documents necessary to amend Blanket Purchase Order (BPO) No. BPLB16000024 with Field Technology, Inc., of Long Beach, CA, for providing pump maintenance and repair services, to increase the contract by $50,000, for a total amount not to exceed $149,000, and extend the term of the BPO to January 31, 2018. (Citywide)
DISCUSSION
City Council approval is requested to increase the existing BPO with Field Technology, Inc., by $50,000, for a total amount not to exceed $149,000. This approval will allow for continuation of pump maintenance and repair services for various City departments until a new contract is awarded. The proposed amendment will provide adequate time for the Purchasing Division to complete a formal procurement process, currently anticipated to be in January 2018.
On May 14, 2013, the City Council awarded a one-year contract to Field Technology, Inc., with the option to renew for two additional one-year periods, for providing pump maintenance and repair services, in an annual amount not to exceed $450,000, with an expiration date of December 31, 2016. Field Technology, Inc., is currently providing pump maintenance and repair services under an interim purchase order for a total amount of $99,000, for the term May 20, 2016 to April 19, 2017, issued pursuant to City purchasing guidelines.
The Public Works Department utilizes this contract to maintain the City’s 23 storm drain pump stations. The Parks, Recreation and Marine Department requires urgent pump and motor repairs to keep pools, lakes, ponds, streams, large ornamental fountains, and biological bodies of water running with proper water circulation. Pumps and motors serviced under this contract are also used by boat owners in the marinas to pump out human waste. The Harbor Department utilizes this contract to maintain sewer lift stations that, if inoperable, could result in sewage flooding.
