Title
Pegasus Utility Locating Services, Inc.
Description
For $128,000.00 in additional payment authority for Contract 134117 for locator (blue stake) services for the Information Technology Services (ITS) Department. ITS operates and maintains the enterprise communications infrastructure that geographically covers more than 500 square miles. Part of that maintenance responsibility is the protection of the City’s infrastructure while providing continuous connectivity for the voice, video, and data networks. Arizona Revised Statutes title 40 requires that all underground facilities, within City right-of-way and City-owned properties, be located and marked subsequent to excavation notifications. Marking infrastructure prior to any excavation near the infrastructure drastically reduces the risk of a cable being damaged and thereby causing network or critical system outage. The additional funds are needed to continue services until a new solicitation can be conducted.
