Title
Alfa Laval Centrifuge Maintenance and Parts Amendment (Ordinance S-47051)
Description
Request to authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to execute an amendment to Agreement 143636 with Alfa Laval Inc. to provide additional centrifuge maintenance and repair parts for the Water Services Department Water Treatment Plants (WTPs). Further request to authorize execution of amendments to the agreement as necessary within the Council-approved expenditure authority as provided below, and for the City Controller to disburse all funds related to this item. The additional fee for services included in this amendment will not exceed $200,000.
Report
Summary
The purpose of this agreement is to provide continued maintenance and repair by the manufacturer of the highly specialized and proprietary centrifuges used at the Water Services Department’s WTPs. Centrifuges are equipment used to remove water from debris found in surface water and are a critical part of the water treatment process.
This amendment is necessary because in December 2019, the Deer Valley WTP incurred a catastrophic gear box failure that resulted in an unanticipated $108,000 expense.
Financial Impact
The initial agreement for Centrifuge Maintenance / Parts was authorized for a fee not-to-exceed $325,000. This amendment will increase the agreement by an additional $200,000, for a new total not-to-exceed agreement value of $525,000.
Concurrence/Previous Council Action
The City Council approved Centrifuge Maintenance / Parts Agreement 143636 (Ordinance S-42725) on June 22, 2016.
