SUBJECT:
GP Electric Motor Contract Amendment
RECOMMENDED ACTION
It is recommended that the City Council and Board Members of the Hesperia Water District (District) authorize the City Manager to execute an amendment to increase the existing contract with GP Electric Motor in the amount of $30,000, for a revised not-to-exceed amount of $100,000 for well and booster motor maintenance.
BACKGROUND
Electric motors that operate the water pumps require proactive or reactive (emergency) repairs throughout the year to continue to have water pumped at the well and booster sites in order to maintain positive water pressure in the distribution system to serve homes and businesses. The proactive and reactive repairs will also greatly reduce the possibility of a water service outage through the City.
ISSUES/ANALYSIS
The current contract with GP Electric Motor is for a not-to-exceed amount of $70,000 and due to unforeseen repairs to the electric motors has resulted in utilizing the contract amount. Based on the historical trend of repairs performed by the contractor, staff estimates an additional $30,000 for the amended not-to-exceed amount of $100,000 will be sufficient for the remainder of the contract term.
FISCAL IMPACT
Sufficient funding exists in the Fiscal Year 2021-22 Budget. If unforeseen repairs arise, a budget amendment will be requested if budget savings are not otherwise available.
ALTERNATIVES
Provide alternative direction to staff.
