Explanation:
On May 1, 2024, the City Commission passed and adopted Resolution No. R-2024-134, approving Blanket Purchase Agreement ("BPA") PA600686 in the amount of $298,000.00 with Airgas USA, LLC for the supply and delivery of Liquid Oxygen ("LOX"), for the period of June 1, 2024, to May 31, 2025.
The Department of Public Utilities desires to issue a change order to BPA PA600686 to increase the contract amount from $298,000.00 to $498,000.00.
The original contract amount was approved for the supply and delivery of LOX needed for the annual preventive maintenance ("PM") of the cryogenic plant. This maintenance event involves calibrating, replacing, and adjusting the equipment on the oxygen generator. However, unanticipated repairs were needed and a portion of the approved funds for LOX supply and delivery were used before the annual PM could be performed. These repairs, albeit necessary, have rendered the existing BPA PA600686 funding insufficient to cover the planned PM. This change order is requested to increase the contract amount from $298,000.00 to $498,000.00 for LOX supply and delivery to ensure the continued operation of this essential equipment at the wastewater treatment plant.
Fiscal Impact:
Funding for this BPA increase is available in the FY 2025 Operating Budget in account number 442.400601.53600.552330.000000.000.000.
No additional staff are needed as a result of this resolution.
