RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Public Works Director, or designee, to execute a contract amendment with West Coast Electric Service Company, Inc., to extend the term through January 31, 2024, for electrical testing, maintenance and repair services, with no change to the payment limit, Countywide.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no fiscal impact with this action as the amendment is only to extend the term of the contract.

BACKGROUND:

The Public Works Department Facilities Services Division is responsible for the electrical maintenance and repair of all County buildings and facilities. West Coast Electric Service Company, Inc., provides general electrical, main switchgear testing, infrared testing and maintenance. Facilities has ongoing maintenance, testing and associated repairs scheduled with the contractor over the next year. Two notable projects are electrical work at the West County Detention Center and the Richmond pump station as well as other on-call electrical work throughout the year.

Government Code Section 25358 authorizes the County to contract for the maintenance and upkeep of County facilities. The contract with West Coast Electric Service Company, Inc., is due to expire January 31, 2023. The Public Works Department respectfully requests authorization to extend this contract to January 31, 2024, with no change to the payment limit of $2,000,000 to ensure the County has access to the contractor's services.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this amendment is not approved, electrical services with West Coast Electric Service Company, Inc., will be discontinued.
