Summary:
The purpose of this request is to increase the BPA by $150,000.00 to account for two (2) centrifuge repairs at the South Cross Water Reclamation Facility (South Cross). This contract was utilized more than anticipated due to unexpected repairs encountered during the high water event of summer 2015. The increase of $150,000.00 should provide ample funding to account for the centrifuge repairs and on-going preventative maintenance through the end of the contract term of September 21, 2016.

This contract was originally awarded by the Interim Director of Purchasing, on September 22, 2014 for a twenty-four (24) month term with an estimated expenditure of $191,000.00. The County Administrator is requested to approve this BPA increase as the total annual expenditure will now exceed the delegated approval authority of the Purchasing Director.
Grit buildup during August 2015 at South Cross in two (2) of the three (3) dewatering centrifuges caused severe damage; repair costs were over $150,000.
