Explanation:
On May 3, 2023, the City Commission approved a contract (PA600684) with Ranch Cryogenics, Inc. for on-site cryogenic oxygen facility services. The agreement allowed up to $160,300.00 per year for three years to cover routine maintenance and support. The Public Utilities Department now needs to increase that amount to $600,000.00 because the cryogenic plant requires and is due for a major five-year maintenance overhaul. This is not a standard annual preventive maintenance service, it’s a comprehensive turnaround that includes several critical tasks to ensure the plant continues operating safely and efficiently. These tasks include:
• Removing insulation from the cold box to replace a check valve and inspect columns for leaks.
• Replacing the internal expander and switch valves to maintain reliability and optimal performance.
• Performing detailed inspections and upgrades that go beyond normal maintenance.
Fiscal Impact:
Funding for this change order is available in the FY 2026 Operating Budget in account numbers 442.400602.53600.552240.000000.000.000 and 442.400601.53600.552240.000000.000.000.
