RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Public Works Director, or designee, to execute a contract amendment with Tri-City Power, Inc., effective June 8, 2021, to extend the term from June 30, 2021 through June 30, 2022, to provide maintenance and emergency repairs to County Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) units, with no change to the payment limit of $600,000, Countywide.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Contract costs are budgeted in the Facilities Maintenance Budget. There is no fiscal impact to this action.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this amendment is not approved, UPS maintenance and repair services with Tri-City Power Inc., will be discontinued.

BACKGROUND:

Public Works Facilities Services is responsible for the maintenance and emergency repairs to the County's Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) units. These units are put inline of incoming power to the buildings. In the case of a power outage, UPS units will allow the facility to continue functioning without losing power. Facilities Services has several of these units protecting facilities at various locations such as 30 Douglas for the Department of Information Technology's (DOIT’s) computer servers, detention centers and several Health Services facilities. Even in cases where a standby generator is available, these UPS units bridge the seconds-long gap between losing power and the generator coming online.

The contract with Tri-City Power Inc., is due to expire June 30, 2021. The Public Works Department is requesting to extend this contract one additional year to June 30, 2022.
