Proposed Motion: |
Move City Council approve Agreement No. MU0-962-4219, Amendment No. 1, with Cartright's Drain Service, Inc.; PM Plumbing and Mechanical, Inc.; RKS Plumbing and Mechanical, Inc.; and TALIS Construction Corporation, for plumbing services, increasing the combined contract limit by $500,000 for a revised contract amount not to exceed $1,000,000, for the existing term ending October 31, 2021. |
Background/Discussion: |
The Wastewater Collection Division maintains and repairs all City-owned sewer mains, as well as crushed or damaged sewer laterals located in the public right-of-way. On average, 72 sewer service repairs are required annually. To provide prompt and efficient service, it was determined the most cost-effective way to repair lateral and main lines is to engage a plumbing contractor. Within 48 hours of notification, the plumbing contractor excavates the area, repairs the damaged line, and restores the landscaping to its original condition. The cost of these repairs has tripled in recent years, resulting in a funding deficit at the end of the fiscal year. The Wastewater Collection Division has worked through these shortages; however, with the increased volume and cost of sewer service repairs, it is not possible to manage with current funding. This amendment will increase funding to continue repairing damaged or missing segments of pipe in the public utility easements of single family residential neighborhoods. |
Evaluation: |
On October 15, 2020, City Council approved an agreement with Cartright's Drain Service, Inc.; PM Plumbing and Mechanical, Inc.; RKS Plumbing and Mechanical, Inc.; and TALIS Construction Corporation, for plumbing services, for a one-year term, with the option of up to two (2) one-year extensions. The current term of the agreement is still in effect, however, staff is requesting an increase to the combined spending limit that was previously approved. All other terms of the original agreements remain unchanged. |
