RE: Proposed Change Order No. 2
Contract No. GLWA-CON-158 (2000121)
Specialized Services Contract
Vendor: LGC Global, Inc.
MOTION
Upon recommendation of Cheryl Porter, Chief Operating Officer - Water and Field Services, the Board of Directors (Board) of the Great Lakes Water Authority (GLWA), authorizes the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) to enter into Contract No. GLWA-CON-158 (2000121) Proposed Change Order No. 2 “Specialized Services Contract” with LGC Global, Inc., at an increased cost of $5,046,299.95 for a total cost not to exceed $20,185,499.80 and an increased duration of one (1) year for a total contract duration of four (4) years; and authorizes the CEO to take such other action as may be necessary to accomplish the intent of this vote.
BACKGROUND
The Specialized Services contracts have successfully been utilized to assist GLWA with urgent tasks to stay in compliance with state and federal regulations that require immediate attention. Specifically, the GLWA’s major maintenance responsibilities include the performance of corrective (i.e. immediate/urgent/emergency), preventive (i.e. regularly scheduled intervals) and predictive (i.e. measured equipment operational intervals) maintenance on huge pumping units, motors, valves and related support equipment at the water treatment plants (WTP), water booster stations (WBS), pressure regulating valves (PRV), remote sites, sewer lift stations and current combined sewer outfalls (CSO).
JUSTIFICATION
GLWA-CON-158 “Specialized Services Contract” is needed to accomplish a number of urgent tasks throughout the water treatment plants, water booster stations, and wastewater collection system to keep these systems in compliance. GLWA has chosen not to maintain all the specialized equipment and staff necessary to perform crucial functions over and beyond regular maintenance work. Therefore, the extension of GLWA-CON-158 is necessary for GLWA to augment its equipment and provide specialized services to maintain its facilities, in order to comply with state and federal regulations regarding water treatment, water transmission, sewage transport, collection, and discharge. This contract gives GLWA the flexibility to bring on additional specialized resources when an urgent need arises.
