Agenda Analysis
Analysis
This ordinance approves the second amendment to a contract between the Metropolitan Department of Water and Sewerage Services and Hydromax USA, LLC, for valve exercising and hydrant maintenance services.
The original contract, which did not require Metropolitan Council approval, allowed HydroMax USA, LLC to provide labor, equipment, materials, tools, fees, data transfer, and permitting for the exercising of valves and maintenance of fire hydrants. The first amendment to this contract changed language relative to annual price adjustments and included a new pricing exhibit.
The proposed amendment extends the contract term by 60 to 66 months. If approved, the contract term would end on September 1, 2026. Metropolitan Code of Laws Section 4.12. 160(B) requires Council approval of contracts for supplies or services “with terms exceeding a period of sixty months, either initially or by virtue of amendments, renewals or extensions thereof.”
Procurement of this service through a renewed solicitation process has been delayed due to the Metropolitan Government’s transition to Oracle Cloud.
The proposed amendment also removes the requirement for a RFQ, project name, or project description to appear on a certificate of insurance and adds language regarding the boycott of Israel, as required by state law.
Fiscal Note: This amendment will not change contract number 6485695, which has an estimated contract value of $3,000,000 with Hydromax USA, LLC.
