| | Subject: | Award a Contract to Brithinee Electric for the replacement of the variable frequency drive at Well 27. (Cost: $57,819.60) (Action Item) | Date: | 12/13/2016 |
|
| | | | | | | | OBJECTIVE
To recommend that City Council award a contract to Brithinee Electric in the amount of $57,819.60 for the replacement of the variable frequency drive at Well 27. |
| | | | | | | | BACKGROUND
Well 27 was designed with a variable frequency drive (VFD) to operate as the primary source for filling the Magnolia Reservoir or as a direct water flow source into the distribution system. Replacement parts for the existing VFD are scarce and the drive needs to be replaced at this time. Staff prepared a scope of work to include the replacement of the VFD and soft-starter bypass under the formal bid process. |
| | | | | | | | DISCUSSION
On September 9, 2016, staff advertised Bid No. S-1201 to solicit bids for the replacement, installation and commissioning of a new VFD and soft-starter bypass at Well 27. Only one (1) bid was received and opened by the Purchasing Agent’s office on October 10, 2016. The sole bidder is Brithinee Electric with a total bid of $57,819.60. |
| | | | | | | | FINANCIAL IMPACT
There is no impact to the General Fund. The new VFD and soft-starter bypass replacement cost is $57,819.60 and will be financed with Water Funds, within the existing FY 2016-17 Budget. |
| | | | | | | | RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council:
- Award a contract, in the amount of $57,819.60, to Brithinee Electric for the purchase, installation and commissioning of a new VFD and soft-starter bypass.
