Langford, Director of Planning & Development Services RE: P.R. NO. 22994— Purchase of a natural gas generator for Port Arthur Health Facility, located at 5860 9th Avenue Introduction: This Agenda Item intends to seek the City Council's approval of P.R. NO. 22994, authorizing the City Manager to execute an agreement with Waukesha-Pearce Industries, Inc. for the purchase, delivery, and installation of a 750KW Natural Gas Generator for the Port Arthur Health Facility, located at 5860 9th Avenue, Port Arthur, Texas. Background: Pursuant to Resolution No. 22-413, City Council authorized the City Manager to execute a construction contract with N&T Construction, Co., Inc. of Beaumont, Texas, for the renovation of the City of Port Arthur's Health Facility, located at 5860 9th Avenue, Port Arthur, Texas. As part of this agreement, City Officials, Construction Manager, and the Contractor have conducted several meetings to discuss value engineering that would provide cost savings to the City while prioritizing and ensuring the department's needs are met. In evaluating the cost estimate provided for the building's purchase and installation of generator power, it was realized that the City could offer cost savings by purchasing the generator through its cooperative contract with BuyBoard. This will provide fora Change Order which will reflect the savings and include other findings discovered during the project's demolition phase. It is vital that the Health Department be provided with a backup power source for several reasons. Some of those reasons include the storage of medications that require refrigeration, access to vital medical records and files, and the need to keep the facility chilled to combat against the spread of bacteria and viruses and provide services, such as testing, vaccinations, and other essential services. The City of Port Arthur's Health Department also plays a crucial role in achieving national health security by preparing the community for disasters, responding to emergencies, and lending support through recovery. As part of the BuyBoard Cooperative Purchasing Program, the City received a quote from Waukesha-Pearce Industries, Inc. for purchasing, delivering, and installing a 750KW Natural Gas Generator to help facilitate activities for the Department of Health Services during natural disasters that result in power outages. Nick Newell, the sales representative with Waukesha-Pearce, provided a BuyBoard quote on January 9, 2023. Budget Impact: The generator will be purchased through BuyBoard pricing for $694,302.00. Funding available in Capital Account: 307-21-049-8512-00-10-000; Project No. B00006 OTH. Recommendation: It is recommended that City Council approve P.R. NO. 22994, authorizing the City Manager to execute an agreement with Waukesha-Pearce Industries, Inc. for the purchase, delivery, and installation of a 750KW Natural Gas Generator for the Port Arthur Health Facility, located at 5860 9th Avenue, Port Arthur, Texas.
