Description
Request to authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to execute amendments to Agreements: 144874 with BTS AZ, LLC.; 144876 with Complete Training Resources LLC dba ETC Compliance Solutions, Inc.; 144875 with Liberty Crane and Rigging Consultants; and 144878 with Workplace Safety Specialists to provide additional time to the agreements for safety, environmental and technical training for Water Services Department staff. No additional funding is required for this amendment.
Report
Summary
The purpose of these amendments is to extend the term of the agreements on a month-to-month basis for up to one year. The extensions will allow sufficient time to complete a competitive process to award multi-year agreements to provide Safety, Environmental and Technical Training.
The Water Services Department (WSD) has a comprehensive employee development training program for Health and Safety trainings that comply with Water Industry requirements, as well as City, State, and Federal safety regulations. WSD is now seeking to expand this program by creating two new areas of training, and these amendments will provide the time needed to make that possible.
Contract Term
This amendment will extend the terms of the agreements on a month-to-month basis for up to one year, from May 1, 2022 to April 30, 2023.
Financial Impact
The initial authorization for the agreements was for an expenditure not-to-exceed $3,299,000. This amendment will not change the authorization for the agreements.
Funding is available in the Water Services Department’s Operating budget.
