Home My WebLink AboutItem 4.03 Agreement with National Elevator p0-3d CITY OF DUBLIN AGENDA STATEMENT City Council Meeting Date: May 14, 1990 SUBJECT: Agreement With National Elevator for Civic Center Elevator Maintenance (Report by Public Works Director Lee Thompson) EXHIBITS ATTACHED: Agreement RECOMMENDATION: (SV Approve agreement and authorize Mayor to execute. FINANCIAL STATEMENT: Monthly cost for maintenance and extended warranty coverage is $375.00. This is a three-year agreement, with an annual cost of $4,500. If approved, this amount would be budgeted under the Building Management Operating Budget for FY 1990-91. There are sufficient funds in this budget for FY 1989-90 to cover the remaining month of June. The $375.00 price is guaranteed for the duration of the three year contract. D$SCRIPTION: The Civic Center's three elevators were installed by National Elevator as part of the original construction. The warranty on the elevators included maintenance at no charge for three months. Beginning in January, the City has paid National Elevator for preventive maintenance type service at a rate of $210.00 per month. This service includes inspection, cleaning, lubrication, and some minor adjustments, but does not include any major service or the cost of any replacement parts. In checking with other agencies that operate elevators, Staff was advised that (1) the newer elevators tend to experience more problems than the older ones, and (2) that certain non-generic parts such as controller boards can only be obtained from the elevator manufacturer. This information is supported by the fact that National Elevator stated they would not be able to perform certain types of service on the elevator at the Shannon Center, which is a Dover, because the parts are only available from Dover. The elevator at Shannon is therefore not included in this agreement. National Elevator has offered the City a three-year extended warranty service agreement at a cost of $375.00 per month. This agreement would include the regular preventive maintenance service, plus the services detailed in the contract. Essentially, all parts and service are covered except the underground hydraulic cylinder, pipelines, electrical lines, damage to the car enclosure, doors, hoistway door and jambs, or car enclosure refinishing. Since many of the replacement parts can be quite expensive, Staff recommends that the City Council approve this agreement for the three-year period. During this time, the number of service calls, types of repairs, and parts replaced will be monitored and evaluated so that a determination can be made whether to continue the extended warranty or opt for preventive maintenance only in ensuing years. This contract was not let out to bid because of the "sole source" nature of the extended warranty. If, in the future, the City elects to contract for preventive maintenance service only, other firms may be able to bid the work at that time. Staff recommends that the City Council approve the agreement and authorize the Mayor to execute same. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ITEM NO.
