Report
Summary
The purpose of this amendment is to provide additional funding to the agreement that is required as a result of a substantial increase in the amount of service requests and critical maintenance projects, such as the rusted pole audit and initiatives to increase lighting in unsafe areas, and more outage reports being placed utilizing the myPHX311 app.
This agreement provides streetlight maintenance services for all new and existing poles and fixtures in the APS and SRP service areas throughout the City of Phoenix. Power Tech Contracting, LLC provides all equipment, labor, materials, traffic control, and services necessary to remove, relocate, upgrade existing, and install new streetlights and equipment and to perform routine and non-routine maintenance of existing streetlights within a specified time frame. The agreement has a year and a half left, and the additional funding is needed for required work.
Contract Term
The agreement term will remain unchanged, ending on Dec. 31, 2023.
Financial Impact
The initial authorization for this agreement was for an expenditure not to exceed $6,922,425. An amendment increased the authorization for the agreement by $1.35 million. This amendment will increase the authorization for the agreement by an additional $5 million for a new total not-to-exceed agreement value of $13,272,425.
Funding is available in the Street Transportation Department’s budget.
