summary
Summary Explanation/Background:
In accordance with the City Charter/Code of Ordinance, Section 32.46 "Emergency Procurement,” the City Manager authorized issuing an emergency Purchase Order to repair the reclaimed water main located at the intersection of NE 14th Street/Causeway and NE 23rd Avenue. The City maintains two competitively solicited utility repair contracts, each with a clause that permits additional quotes from a different contractor. After the primary vendor declined to repair a construction-related rupture of the reclaimed water main and the secondary contractor quoted $350,000.00, Utilities Field Office Division (UFO) staff solicited an additional quote from a local company that resulted in a savings in the amount of $152,022.25. The UFO included the details of the rupture in their memo #2021-50. To prevent a threat to public health and minimize the disruption of utility services, Purchase Order 311619 was issued to DBF Construction LLC., in the amount of $197,977.75. City Commission approval is requested.
Origin of request for this action: Staff
Fiscal impact and source of funding: Emergency repairs will be paid from budgeted funds in account 420-7282-533-65-12/ Project 06-904/ Capital Projects-Reuse Distribution Expansion.
