BACKGROUND:
The Department of Public Works - Public Buildings Operations and Fleet Services Divisions contract with a third-party to provide maintenance and repair services for emergency generators and related support power systems. During emergency outages, these systems ensure operations of critical City infrastructure including: E-911 and utility dispatching, computer operations, wastewater pumping and water supply.
On March 6, 2018, the City Council awarded Contract 18-024 to Interstate Power Systems, Inc. for a two-year term with three one-year options to extend. The City Council awarded the second option year on February 16, 2021.
DISCUSSION:

Interstate Power Systems responded to repair requests both during and after regular business hours in a timely manner to maximize equipment uptime.

The term of the third option year is April 1, 2022 through March 31, 2023, with no option years remaining on the agreement.
