RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Public Works Director, or designee, to execute a contract amendment with West Coast Electric Service Company, Inc., effective June 1, 2018, to increase the payment limit by $1,500,000 to a new payment limit of $2,000,000, with no change to the original term of April 1, 2016 through March 31, 2019, to provide on-call general electrical and main switchgear repairs and maintenance, Countywide. (100% General Fund)

FISCAL IMPACT:

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

BACKGROUND:

Facilities Services has been tasked with several requests for electrical upgrades to County facilities. With an improved County budget and Facility Life Implementation Plan, the work orders have begun to amass. The amount of work has surpassed Facilities’ ability to conduct work in a timely manner with the current staff. Bidsync # 1510-160 solicited several electrical contractors interested in performing sublet work for Facilities Services. Government Code Section 25358 authorizes the County to contract for maintenance and upkeep of County facilities. West Coast Electric Services was selected for general electrical, main switchgear and infrared testing, repairs and maintenance. Facilities Services is in the middle of a three year electrical contract with West Coast Electric. They have exhausted the funds allotted to West Coast Electric and are requesting the dollar amount be amended.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, general electrical and main switchgear repairs and maintenance services will be discontinued.
