RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Public Works Director, or designee, to execute a contract amendment with Blessing & Harvey Professional Services, Inc. (dba Ernie’s Plumbing & Sewer Service), effective December 08, 2015, to increase the payment limit by $1,200,000 to a new payment limit of $1,850,000, with no change to the original term of April 1, 2015 through March 31, 2018, for sublet emergency plumbing services, Countywide.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This cost is to be funded through Facilities Services budget. (100% General Fund)

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract amendment is not approved, sublet emergency plumbing services will not be performed.

BACKGROUND:

Facilities Services is responsible for plumbing maintenance and repair for all County buildings and facilities. Based on Facilities Services staffing or the unavailability of County employees, plumbing work is sublet to outside vendors. The original bid on Bidsync # 1501-114, Ernie’s Plumbing and Rotor-Rooter Plumbing are the awarded vendors for this work. Due to several uncommon plumbing situations the original payment limit has been exhausted. Facilities Services is requesting an increase to the original payment limit with no change to the original term.
