RE: Contract No. 2004889
Specialized Services
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 Interim Chief Executive Officer (ICEO) to enter into Contract No. 2004889 “Specialized Services” with LGC Global, Inc., in the amount of $11,389,132.00 for a duration of two (2) years, with two (2) one (1) year renewal options at a cost not to exceed $5,694,566.00 for each renewal year for a total contract amount of $22,778,264.00; and authorizes the ICEO to take such other action as may be necessary to accomplish the intent of this vote.
BACKGROUND
Specialized services contracts have successfully been utilized to assist the authority with large maintenance and emergency projects to stay in compliance with state and federal regulations. They also provide the necessary support for urgent and emergency tasks 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 (PRVs), remote sites, sewer lift stations and current combined sewer outfalls (CSO).
JUSTIFICATION
The purpose of this contract is to provide supplemental specialized services to GLWA, in terms of equipment and staff, to address various specialized tasks outside of the core, day-to-day operations and maintenance tasks of GLWA. Examples include dismantling and installing large (500 horsepower and above) pumps and motors as periodically required for maintenance, repair, and replacement. This is a replacement contract for CON-158 and was competitively bid as RFB-2004889. This contract will also provide staffing for storm watches at the Conner, Freud, and Bluehill sanitary/storm pump stations.
Specialized Services Contract No. 2004889 is needed to accomplish a number of emergency projects throughout the water treatment plants, water booster stations and wastewater collection system to keep these systems in compliance. GLWA does not have sufficient equipment and staff necessary to perform all the crucial emergency specialized functions in addition to providing urgent and emergency maintenance work. An award of Specialized Services Contract No. 2004889 is crucial for the authority to augment its equipment and provide specialized services to maintain its facilities, and to comply with state and federal regulatory agencies’ directives assuring the health and welfare of GLWA customers in the areas of 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 or emergency arises.
