RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Public Works Director, or designee, to execute a contract with Tri-City Power, Inc., in an amount not to exceed $600,000, for uninterruptible power supply maintenance and repair services, for the period of July 1, 2017 through June 30, 2020, Countywide. (100% General Funds)

FISCAL IMPACT:

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

BACKGROUND:

Facilities Services maintains all County facility uninterruptible power supplies. These units are put inline of incoming power to the buildings. In the case of a power outage, these units will allow the facility to continue functioning without losing power. We have several of these units protecting facilities at various locations such as 30 Douglas for the Department of Information Technology's (DOIT’s) computer servers, and several Health Services facilities. Even in cases where a standby generator is available, these units bridge the seconds-long gap between losing power and the generator coming online. Facilities anticipates that several of their traffic signals will be required to have these units in the near future. Facilities Services is requesting a contract be put in place for this maintenance and repair service.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, uninterruptible power supply maintenance and repair services will be discontinued.
