Description
Request to authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to execute an amendment to Contract 147870 with Metering Services, Inc. to provide additional funding to the contract. Further request to authorize the City Controller to disburse all funds related to this item. The additional expenditures will not exceed $600,000.
Report
Summary
The purpose of the amendment is to provide additional funds which will allow for continued identification and repair of large water meters. Emergency repair costs have been higher than anticipated over the contract term. A funding increase will allow the planned repairs to stay on schedule which will minimize future unplanned expenditures for emergency processes for the Water Services Department.
Contract Term
The contract term remains unchanged, ending on June 30, 2025.
Financial Impact
The initial authorization for On-site Testing and Repair of Large Water Meters was for an expenditure not-to-exceed $2,079,660. This amendment will increase the authorization for the agreement by an additional $600,000 for a new total not-to-exceed agreement value of $2,679,660.
Funding is available in the Water Services Department’s Operating budget.
