Body
Staff Recommends: Approval of attached Resolution.
Explanation:
The City of Hollywood Department of Public Utilities (Department) is responsible for the operation and maintenance of critical infrastructure, including the Southern Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant and the Water Treatment Plant. These essential facilities rely on high-voltage switchgear systems to provide the reliable, continuous power necessary for 24/7 operations. Regular preventative maintenance and testing of the high-voltage switchgear systems, which distribute and control that electrical power, helps minimize downtime and ensure both treatment plants operate effectively and safely.
The Department worked with the Office of Procurement and Contract Compliance to solicit a qualified vendor to provide the necessary services. The Eaton Corporation submitted the lowest bid, at $254,850.00, and therefore provided the best value for the necessary services.
Fiscal Impact:
Funding for this purchase was included in the amended FY 2025 Capital Improvement Plan and is available in account number 442.409903.53600.552240.000704.000.000.
No new staff are needed as a result of this resolution.
