Explanation:
On January 15, 2025, the City Commission approved Resolution No. R-2025-018, which authorized a Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA PA601018) with Tac Armature & Pumps Corp. (“Tac”) for electric motor and pump repairs for the Department of Public Utilities (“Department”), in an amount not to exceed $350,000.00. The agreement is valid from January 15, 2025, through September 15, 2025.
The Department is now requesting to increase the total amount of BPA PA601018 from $350,000.00 to $500,000.00 to ensure the repair and alignment of three influent pumps vital to the Southern Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant operations. It is urgent that these repairs be completed before the impending hurricane season.
Three out of five pumps currently require service, and all need shaft alignment and bearing replacement. The repairs are urgently needed to ensure that the pumping infrastructure is fully operational and prepared for potential rainy season-related high influent flows. Tac has a proven record of technical expertise, quality workmanship, timely progression reports, and a commitment to meeting deadlines. They are therefore the optimal vendor to complete these essential repairs.
According to Section 38.48 of the Procurement Code, any change order that the City Manager cannot approve must be formally approved by the City Commission.
The Department Director recommends that the City Commission approve this change order to increase the BPA PA601018 from $350,000.00 to $500,000.00.
Fiscal Impact:
Funding for this agreement is available in the FY 2025 Operating Budget in account numbers 442.400602.53600.552240.000000.000.000 and 442.400602.53600.546310.000000.000.000.
Staff will manage this equipment; no additional staff will be needed as a result of this resolution
