Council action is requested to issue a purchase order to Rand Construction for $105,665.00 for the Fire Line Repair project for the Power & Light Department.

Council action to issue a purchase order.

Contracts establish set prices for services or commodities that remain in effect for a designated period. This allows City departments to utilize the agreements in the performance of their operations without requiring a bid process each time a service or commodity is needed. Proposals were solicited publicly for the Heavy Equipment Maintenance & Repair Services contract. Rand Construction was then awarded the Heavy Maintenance & Repair Services contract.

The existing contract with Rand Construction for Heavy Maintenance & Repair Services will be utilized for the Fire Line Repair project. This purchase order includes removal and replacement of seven valves and necessary excavation and backfill.

Approval of this item authorizes change orders up to a total of ten (10) percent of the original authorized amount for each order, providing appropriations are available.

The fiscal impact to the City is estimated at $105,665.00. Funding for the Heavy Equipment Maintenance & Repair Services Contract initial agreement period is included in the 21/22 fiscal year proposed budget, page number 188, account number 6140 5211 55410043
