APPROVE NEW SWITCHBOARD AND STUDY FOR JUSTICE CENTER
Submitted for:	Martha Palacios	Submitted By:	Martha Palacios
Department:	Engineering

Subject:

Discussion and possible action to approve a Contingency Fund Expense in the amount of $166,500.00 for the replacement of the Main Switchboard, coordination and arc flash study for the Webb County Justice Center, using funds encumbered as per contract and Purchase Order and; authorizing the County Judge to execute all relevant documents and any other matters incident thereto. [Account #3865-7420-001-474501-045 (Construction in Progress-Chiller Water Plant-Contingency Fund)]

Issue: Main Switchboard needs to be replaced and the arch flash coordination study is needed so that the proper settings and labels are applied once the new board is installed. Solution: Price of $166,500.00 will cover $19,500.00 for the coordination and arc flash study and $147,000.00 for the replacement of the existing main switchboard, as per attached quote. Lead time for this new board is 12 weeks. Due to recent tariffs being imposed by the President on imports, an increase in costs is expected. It is imperative to lock in the price as soon as possible. This work is proposed to get done October 5 – October 8. This falls in line with the county’s shut down for Columbus Day. Please note verbiage on Purchase Order 2018-00000606, “Customer has the option of using all or part of this fund to add other additional scope items during the construction period.”

Result: Continue with Project.
