A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER, OR DESIGNEE, TO APPROVE A CHANGE ORDER IN THE AMOUNT OF $45,300.72 TO P.L.A. ELECTRIC, INC. FOR ADDITIONAL ELECTRICAL SERVICES AT TEMPORARY FIRE STATION 113.
body
BACKGROUND:
In January 2019, the City Commission approved the award of a contract to P.L.A. Electric, Inc. pursuant to Request For Proposals (RFP) No. 12-05-18-10 for general electrical services. A P-Card Authorization in the amount of $44,855.00 to P.L.A. Electric, Inc. was approved on March 30, 2021, to provide electrical services for the Temporary Fire Station 113 Building.
DISCUSSION:
In the process of performing the electrical work for the construction of Fire Station 113, additional work was required; and as P.L.A. Electric was already working on the project and familiar with the property, the building, and all the utility lines at that location, the following additional services were necessary to complete the project:
• repairs to underground piping damaged by plumbing contractor (cost was deducted from the plumber’s bill);
• installation of low voltage data lines for the Information Technology (IT) department;
• supply and installation of Data Terminal Rack for the IT department;
• installation of wiring for the alert system (requested by the Fire Department);
• installation of automatic transfer switch for on-site generator;
• installation of safety lighting around the building; and
• installation of additional electric for the storage shed and truck canopy.
These additional electrical services in the amount of $45,300.72 were required, as it is anticipated that this building will be utilized as a Fire Station for the next four to five years. The plans for a permanent Fire Station 113 will now be combined with the new Police Department building as part of a Public Safety Building project, which is currently in the planning stages.

Staff recommends approval of this resolution.
