Rachel Molina, City Manager
BY:
Cassandra Sanchez, Director of Public Works/City Engineer SUBJECT:
Global Power Group 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 approve an amendment of $30,000 to the existing contract with Global Power Group, for a total revised not-to-exceed amount of $80,000 for emergency generator repairs.
BACKGROUND
The emergency backup generators that supply power during power outages require proactive or emergency repairs throughout the year. Currently, the District manages the maintenance of six (6) generators located throughout the City. The repairs need to be completed as quickly as possible to keep the District’s customers with positive pressure at their homes and businesses. The generators also provide emergency electrical service to the District’s two (2) sewer lift stations, as well as City Hall and the Police Department.
ISSUES/ANALYSIS
The original three (3) year agreement was established in June of 2024 in the amount of $50,000. Due to a faulty transfer switch at the Hesperia Sheriff’s Station, contract authority has been reached. Additional contract authority will be needed for the annual preventative maintenance and any reactive maintenance for the remainder of the Fiscal Year.
