The City is on the last year of a three (3) year contract for on-call electric services.  A new on-call electric services contract needs to be established for City commercial buildings, industrial water and wastewater sites.

The City issued a solicitation for proposal (RFP) from qualified firms with demonstrated competence and experience in commercial and industrial electric services.  Two (2) proposals were received in response to the solicitation.  Proposals were reviewed by key City stakeholders and scored initially based on criteria including cost, proposer’s experience, qualifications, reputation, quality of proposed services and responsiveness of the proposal.  Both respondent firms were determined to be responsive and qualified so the City recommends awarding a contract to both Gerard Electric and Diamondback Electric Services.

To obtain authorization from City Council to enter a contract with two electric companies to perform emergency on-call and quoted electric work.

City buildings and industrial water sites can be serviced at any time or day with minimal downtime to city buildings, water well or wastewater sites which would directly impact citizens.

City staff recommends approving contracts with Gerard Electric and Diamondback Electric Services that will expire at the end of FY 26-27 with the option to renew the contract for two (2) extensions of one (1) year each.

Funds are available and approved through base budget for Facilities and Water for FY 24-25.

Approval of Resolution 24-R-110.
