Title
Authorize a three-year service price agreement for citywide electrical services - Morley-Moss Inc, lowest responsible bidder of four - Estimated amount of $19,494,285.96 - Financing: General Fund ($14,899,075.95) and Aviation Fund ($4,595,210.01) (subject to annual appropriations)
Body
BACKGROUND
This action does not encumber funds; the purpose of a service price agreement is to establish firm pricing for services, for a specific term, which are ordered on an as needed basis according to annual budgetary appropriations. The estimated amount is intended as guidance rather than a cap on spending under the agreement, so that actual need combined with the amount budgeted will determine the amount spent under this agreement.
This service price agreement will provide for citywide electrical services. These services will supplement city electrical needs in order to address the majority of ongoing projects for all departments. This agreement includes all labor, materials, equipment, supplies, and supervision needed for general electrical services such as the inspection of electrical components for diagnosing and repairing electrical systems in facilities maintained by the City. Acceptable industry standards and best practices will be followed in all phases of service delivery such as site prep work and overall mitigation efforts for repairs and restorative improvements to structures. The contractor is fully equipped with a team of subject matter experts possessing the technical knowledge and experience needed to troubleshoot a variety of electrical problems as they occur. Services through this agreement will provide for:
• Electrical reconfigurations for cubicles and offices
• Connecting and disconnecting power for temporary trailers as needed to support city operations
• Rehabilitation upgrade efforts to fire stations and installation of new auto transfer switches
• Circuit installations
• Transformer replacements
• Light improvements and electrical upgrades
• Repair services for conduits and cables
As part of the solicitation process and in an effort to increase competition, the Office of Procurement Services used its procurement system to send out email notifications to vendors registered under relevant commodity codes. To further increase competition, the Office of Procurement Services uses historical solicitation information, the Internet, and vendor contact information obtained from user departments to contact additional vendors.
On November 10, 2015, the City Council authorized a living wage policy that requires contractors to pay their employees a “living wage” rate as established annually by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Living Wage Calculator for Dallas County, by Resolution No. 15-2141. The calculated living wage during the solicitation process of this contract is $22.05; the selected vendor meets this requirement.
