RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Public Works Director, or designee, to execute a contract amendment with West Coast Electric Service Company, Inc., effective November 16, 2021, to extend the term from January 31, 2022 through January 31, 2023, to provide electrical testing, maintenance and repair services at various County facilities, with no change to the payment limit of $2,000,000, Countywide.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no fiscal impact to this action as it is to extend the term only. Contract costs are budgeted in the Facilities Maintenance Budget.

BACKGROUND:

Facilities Services is responsible for the electrical maintenance and repair of all County 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. Government Code Section 25358 authorizes the County to contract for maintenance and upkeep of County facilities. Two notable projects are 2101 Loveridge Road in Pittsburg (Motel 6) and the Richmond pump house.

The contract with West Coast Electric Service Company, Inc., is due to expire January 31, 2022. The Public Works Department is requesting authorization to extend this contract to January 31, 2023, to ensure the County has access to the contractor's services, with no change to the payment limit of $2,000,000.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

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