Explanation:
On November 12, 2025, the City Manager approved Memo PU-26-9 establishing Blanket Purchase Agreement PA601245 (PA601245) with Sunbelt Rentals for up to $85,000.00 annually to provide rental equipment ranging from light to heavy machinery through June 2028.
The Department of Public Utilities requests a change order to increase the annual contract amount to $210,000.00. The original request covered only the Underground Utilities Division, but additional divisions - including the Wastewater Treatment Plant and Lift Station operations - also require access to this equipment to support daily and emergency operations.
Rental equipment from Sunbelt is frequently used for maintenance, system repairs, and other work necessary to keep the City's water and wastewater systems operating. It also plays an important role in preparedness and response efforts for hurricane season, king tide events, and unforeseen flooding.

The Director of Public Utilities recommends approval of this change order to increase the annual contract limit from $85,000.00 to $210,000.00, ensuring all affected divisions have reliable access to the equipment needed to maintain safe and efficient operations.
