Description
Request to authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to execute an amendment to Contract 148744 with Kimbrell Electric Inc., to allow additional expenditures for the installation of loop detectors for the Street Transportation Department. Further request to authorize the City Controller to disburse all funds related to this item. The additional expenditures included in this amendment will not exceed $3 million.
Report
Summary
The purpose of this amendment is to provide additional funding to the agreement that is required as a result of the Accelerated Pavement Maintenance Program (APMP), which was approved by City Council in 2018. The APMP had not been approved by City Council when the original contract was procured which caused a substantial increase in the need for these services.
This contract provides installation of new and the replacement of existing vehicle detection sensor loops which are installed at various traffic signal intersections for efficient timing of lights throughout the City's infrastructure. The contract has one year left, and the additional funding is needed for required work.
Contract Term
The contract term will remain unchanged, ending on Nov. 30, 2023.
Financial Impact
The initial authorization for this contract was for an expenditure not-to-exceed $3.54 million. This amendment will increase the authorization for the contract by an additional, $3 million, for a new total not-to-exceed contract value of $6.54 million.
Funding is available in the Street Transportation Department’s budget.
