Mayor and Council Communication

LOG NAME: 60WATER MITIGATION AMEND 1
SUBJECT
Authorize the Execution of Amendment No. 1 to the Contract with First Restoration Inc. for Water Damage Mitigation Services to Provide an
Increased Contract Cost in the Amount of $24,750.00 for a Revised Contract Amount of $123,750.00 and Authorize Future Renewals at the
Revised Contract Amount (COUNCIL DISTRICT 5)
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council authorize the execution of Amendment No. 1 to City Secretary Contract No. 53100 with First Restoration
Inc. for Water Damage Mitigation Services, in the amount of $24,750.00 for a revised contract amount of $123,750.00, amend the timeline for
renewals and authorize future renewals at the revised contract amount.
DISCUSSION:
On November 19, 2019 city secretary contract 53100 was executed with First Restoration, Inc. for water damage mitigation services for the Water
Department. Water routinely uses First Restoration for property damage mitigation and restoration services resulting from water main breaks and
sewer backups.
Based on historical averages, the Water department anticipated expenditures with First Restoration Inc. to not exceed $99,000.00 per year.
However, several recent emergency responses have resulted in early depletion of the authorized contract amount. Thus, due to the ongoing need
for these services, the original funding is insufficient to cover future expenses which may have occurred during the contract's term. Authorization of
this M&C will provide additional funding to pay invoices and allow for subsequent renewals, at the revised contract amount, upon expenditure of
funds, then enabling a seamless continuation of these services for the duration of the contract and its renewal periods.
M/WBE OFFICE - A waiver of the goal for M/WBE subcontracting requirements was requested by the Purchasing Division and approved by the
Office of Business Diversity (OBD), in accordance with the M/WBE or BDE Ordinance, because the purchase of goods or services is from
sources where subcontracting or supplier opportunities are negligible.
FISCAL INFORMATION / CERTIFICATION:
The Director of Finance certifies that upon approval of the above recommendation, funds are available in the current operating budget, as
appropriated, in the Water & Sewer Fund and that, prior to an expenditure being incurred, the Water Department has the responsibility to validate
the availability of funds.
