Body
REQUESTOR:
Public Works Department
BACKGROUND:
On September 27, 2024, the Public Works Department accepted quotes for the FY 2024-2025 Large Meter Testing project. The Public Works Department issued a Request for Quotes, and in response received two quotes, awarding the bid to UWS, Inc. On October 8, 2024, a purchase order in the amount of $50,000 was issued for these services.
Due to the number of large meters that underwent testing from UWS, Inc., the Public Works Department spent an overall amount of $54,696. Due to this expenditure, a change order was entered on September 23, 2025, for an additional $5,000 to cover these charges, making the total price $55,000.
DISCUSSION:
Although the amount falls within the City Manager’s approval authority per policy, the council’s affirmation is required for approvals above $50,000. The staff is adding this agenda item to seek the City Council's affirmation. The Council will discuss approving Resolution No. 2025-210, which reaffirms the City’s authorization of a change order for a total contract price of $55,000 for Large Meter Testing. Staff will be available for any questions the Council may have.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The overall financial impact of $55,000 is funded and budgeted from the Public Works Utilities Division operating account.
DISTRICT:
Citywide
POSSIBLE COUNCIL ACTION:
1. I move to approve Resolution No. 2025-210, as presented.
2. I move to approve Resolution No. 2025-210 with modifications.
3. I move to table the issue for further study or take no action.
