RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Public Works Director, or designee, to execute a contract amendment with Performance Marine Specialties, Inc., effective May 1, 2021, to increase the hourly repair rate and modify the insurance requirements under the contract, with no change to the original payment limit of $450,000 and the term August 1, 2018 through July 31, 2022, for maintenance and repair services of patrol and service boats, Countywide.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no fiscal impact with this action. Contract costs are budgeted in the Fleet Internal Service Fund Budget.

BACKGROUND:

Public Works Fleet Services is responsible for maintaining the Sheriff’s Department fleet of patrol and service boats. This requires purchasing parts, accessories and conducting repairs for these vessels. Performance Marine Specialties, Inc., currently provides the equipment, parts and labor for maintenance and repair services to the Sheriff's Department's patrol and service boats.

The term of the contract is from August 1, 2018 through July 31, 2022. The contractor is requesting an increase to the hourly labor rate for repairs. This is the first hourly rate increase requested by the contractor under this contract. The Sheriff's Department has approved the rate increase pending board approval. The increase in hourly rate will not result in an increase to the contract limit.

Additionally, Performance Marine Specialties, Inc., is requesting the worker's compensation requirement be removed from the general conditions of the contract. Performance Marine Specialties is run and operated by the owners who also provide all of the labor for the company.

The Public Works Department is requesting authorization to approve the hourly rate increase and remove the worker's compensation requirement of the contract through the expiration of the contract.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this amendment is not approved, boat maintenance and repair services with Performance Marine Specialties, Inc., will be discontinued.
