W A T E R I E N E R G Y I l I E E <br /> RIVERSIDE PUBLIC UTILITIES <br /> Board Memorandum <br /> P U B L I C U T T l I T I F S <br /> BOARD OF PUBLIC UTILITIES DATE: March 19, 2010 <br /> ITEM NO: 7 <br /> SUBJECT: PURCHASE OF SPARE PARTS FOR THE SPRINGS GENERATING FACILITY <br /> ISSUE: <br /> Consideration of spare parts purchase for Springs Generating Facility in the amount of$104,118. <br /> RECOMMENDATION: <br /> That the Board of Public Utilities approve the procurement of three (3) Woodward Gas Valves and two (2) <br /> Woodward Drivers from CSE Engineering, Inc., of Concord, California in the amount of$104,118. <br /> BACKGROUND: <br /> Since 2002, the Springs Generating Station has been an important component of the expanding Riverside <br /> Public Utilities (RPU) generation fleet. Its primary purpose is to lessen the impact of system blackouts <br /> through its ability to run without an outside source of electricity and provide power for vital emergency <br /> services and locations within Riverside. <br /> The Springs generators are part of an aging fleet and many power plants utilizing this type of equipment <br /> have been upgraded to newer more efficient equipment, such as the units currently being installed at the <br /> Riverside Energy Resource Center. The availability of field support and vendor-stocked replacement parts <br /> has decreased over the last eight years making it imperative that RPU maintain critical parts on site. <br /> The valves and drivers specific to this report are critical parts. RPU staff and the City's Purchasing Division <br /> have only identified one vendor, CSE Engineering Inc., that can supply these specific parts. If any of these <br /> parts should fail, the affected unit(s) would be unavailable until replacement parts could be procured. <br /> Section 201(c) of City Resolution 21182 provides that competitive procurement shall not be required when <br /> the procurement can only be obtained from a sole source, and the City's Purchasing Services Manager is <br /> satisfied that the best price, terms and conditions for the procurement have been negotiated. The <br /> Purchasing Services Manager has made such finding. <br /> FISCAL IMPACT: <br /> The total project cost is $104,118. Funds are budgeted and available in account 6120120-424131. <br /> Prepared by: Gary L. Nolff, Utilities Assistant General Manager/ Resources <br /> Approved by: David H. Wright, Public Utilities General Manager <br /> Approved by: Belinda J. Graham, Assistant City Manager <br /> Approved as to form: Gregory P. Priamos, City Attorney <br /> Concurs with: Art Torres, Purchasing Services Manager <br />
