Explanation:
On April 16, 2025, the City Commission approved Resolution No. R-2025-123, establishing Blanket Purchase Agreement PA601078 with Tripp Electric Motors for up to $300,000.00 in motor and pump repair services. The Department of Public Utilities requests a change order to increase the contract amount to $600,000.00.
Since the approval of PA601078, the Department has experienced increased service demands due to aging infrastructure, increased equipment wear, and an expanded scope of repairs required to maintain system reliability. This increase is also necessary because the Department relies on continuous maintenance and repair of motors and pumps. Repair requirements have been expanded at the lift stations, stormwater pump stations, the water treatment plant, and the wastewater treatment plant, and are essential to keeping all systems operating safely and efficiently.
Regular and continuous maintenance is critical to preventing sewer overflows that could impact public health and the environment, minimizing street flooding during heavy rainfall, and ensuring the continued delivery of safe drinking water to residents. Additional preventive maintenance, emergency responses, and replacement of failing components are increasingly necessary to avoid breakdowns that could lead to costly outages and disruptions.
To continue providing these essential services, the Department is requesting a change order to increase the contract amount from $300,000.00 to $600,000.00.
Fiscal Impact:
A portion of the funding for this service is available in the FY 2026 Operating Budget in account numbers 442.400603.53600.546310.000000.000.000, 443.410101.53800.546310.000000.000.000, 442.400602.53600.552240.000000.000.000 and 442.400502.53600.552240.000000.000.000 and will be budgeted in subsequent fiscal years’ operating budgets, subject to approval and adoption by the City Commission.
