This work will provide for the installation of new 30kVA UPS equipment to replace the current GE -brand UPS equipment that is no longer functioning. The City attempted to place the work necessary to be performed for this project out to bid as a stand -alone project and received one bid that was incomplete and therefore, non - responsive to the invitation to bid. The City Code allows for the City to join with other units of government in cooperative purchasing of goods and services when the best interest of the City would be served. In such circumstances, the competitive bidding requirements of the Riverside City Code are not required as long as the jurisdiction from whom the City is utilizing a cooperative purchase contract followed completion of its own internal purchasing procedures. The work to be performed on this project was competitively bid by the 16'" Judicial Circuit Court of Jackson County, Missouri. The Circuit Court awarded the bid to RL Fisher Electric Company, LLC based on a time and materials basis. RECOMMENDATION: After staffs review of the Circuit Court contract and experience questionnaire completed by RL Fisher Electric Company, Staff recommends approval of the resolution to piggyback onto the Circuit Court contract and authorize the work to be performed by RL Fisher Electric Company for the UPS Equipment Replacement Project. BUDGETARY IMPACT: Approximately $54,000 was allocated in the Capitol Improvements budget for the construction under this contract. The engineer's estimate for the work to be performed by RL Fisher is $40,739.46. Staff will monitor the expenditures closely to ensure the budget on this project is not exceeded. If unanticipated expenditures arise, additional board authorization will be requested before the work is permitted.
