RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Purchasing Agent, on behalf the Chief Information Officer, Department of Information Technology, to execute a purchase order amendment to PO #023439 with Thermo Bond Buildings, LLC to increase the payment limit of $355,000 by $45,000 to a new payment limit of $400,000 for the purchase of a concrete equipment shelter for the Carquinez Tower Project.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The cost for this agreement is funded through General Fund Capital Reserves. (100% General Fund Capital Reserves)

BACKGROUND:

The Board at its meeting of September 21, 2021 authorized the Purchasing Agent to execute a purchase order with Thermo Bond Buildings, LLC in an amount not to exceed $355,000 to provide a concrete equipment shelter for the Carquinez Tower Project. This shelter will house the critical systems such as air conditioning and heating units, the generator, electrical panels, alarm system and internal and external lighting systems to render the Carquinez communications tower operational.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

Since the time of the original estimate and approval over 9-months ago, the freight charge to transport the 100,000 lb. concrete structure from the factory in Indiana has increased by $30,000. Additionally, staff from the Department of Information Technology performed a final inspection of the shelter at the factory and detected a design flaw requiring a $15,000 change order. The change order and increased freight charge account for the $45,000 PO amendment.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
