The purpose of this agreement is to provide Rockwell Automation/Allen Bradley electrical parts and software. The Rockwell Automation/Allen Bradley components are used in the industrial automation and controls equipment in various operations at the Water Services Department and to operate the baggage handling systems for the Aviation Department.
This direct selection is necessary due to Border States Industries, Inc. being the sole authorized distributor for the proprietary Rockwell Automation/Allen Bradley brand electrical parts, software, and licenses.
Border States Industries, Inc.’s services include, but are not limited to: automated electrical parts, programmable logic controllers, maintenance and software.
This item has been reviewed and approved by the Information Technology Services Department.
Procurement Information
An exception to the procurement process was determined to select the Contractor set forth in City of Phoenix Administrative Regulation 3.10. A direct selection was made because there exists a lack of qualified/available contractors/consultants, which makes a competitive selection process impracticable, unnecessary, and contrary to the public interest.
Contract Term
The agreement will begin on or about July 1, 2022, for a five-year aggregate term.
Financial Impact
The agreement value for Border States Industries, Inc., will not exceed $1 million for the five-year term.
Funding is available in the Water Services and Aviation departments’ Operating and Capital Improvement Program budgets.
