Title
Approval of Purchase Order for Modular Building (B)
Explanation
The recent reorganization and proposed reassignment of Electric Transmission and Distribution / Vegetation Management Division employees will yield superior operational flexibility, efficiency, and coordination. These benefits will be magnified during large scale electric system restoration activities resultant from hurricanes and other severe weather conditions. In order to realize these gains it necessary to add temporary office space at the Fifth Avenue Operations Center until such time as a new Eastside operations Center is constructed. The outright purchase of portable office space is more cost effective than leasing such space through the duration of this need.
Purchasing sent an Invitation to Bid to eight prospective bidders with four responding with a bid. A bid tabulation is attached for your reference.
Recommendations
The City Commission authorize the General Manager, or his designee, to purchase a modular building from Resun Leasing Inc. for GRU's Transmission and Distribution department in an amount not to exceed $50,000.00 and to execute any necessary documents in conjunction with the purchase.
Fiscal Note
Funds for this purchase are available in the FY 05 General Plant budget for T&D.
