This project aims to restore the damaged electrical equipment to full operational capacity while incorporating design enhancements that will improve resilience against future weather events. Completing the project will result in installing an upgraded, fully operational electrical system with enhanced monitoring and control capabilities. Consultant/Specialty Services Frisch Engineering was retained under the City’s on-call agreement to provide plans, specifications, and estimates for the project. Frisch submitted a proposal in the amount of $95,165 to provide additional engineering services required for this project. The additional amount will support construction and engineering services, including reviewing submittals, Requests for Information (RFI) and change order requests, field design support and SCADA programming services. Staff recommends the City Council approve a professional services agreement with Frisch Engineering, Inc. (Attachment 4) for a not-to-exceed amount of $95,165 for: • Additional Design Support: Additional engineering services to update design drawings to incorporate City-requested changes. • Construction Support Services: Ongoing construction support, including reviewing shop drawings, responding to requests for information, conducting periodic inspections related to electrical engineering, and performing witness testing as requested by the City. • SCADA Programming Services: Coordinate SCADA programming services for startup, testing, and operational training in conjunction with the Motor Control Center (MCC). Bids Sealed bids for this project were opened on February 19, 2025. Five bids were received; however, the bid from Lords Electric, Inc. was deemed non-responsive due to missing paperwork. The responsive bids ranged from $478,873 to $697,000 as compared with the Engineer’s Estimate of $500,000 (see Attachment 1). The responsible lowest bid was received from Telstar Instruments of Sacramento, CA, in the amount of $478,873, which is approximately 4 percent lower than the Engineer’s Estimate. Past work performed by Telstar Instruments was verified to be satisfactory. Staff recommends the City Council award the construction contract to Telstar Instruments. Schedule Construction on the project will not occur until spring 2026 after the procurement of the electrical equipment, which has an anticipated procurement period of 10-12 months due to industry delays for Motor Control Centers. Once construction begins, the project is expected to take five months to complete. Page 179 of 348
