BACKGROUND:
The Department of Public Works (Department) operates a microturbine cogeneration plant comprised of eight Capstone Turbine Corporation microturbine generating units at the Youth Services Center (YSC).
On June 25, 2019, this Board adopted Resolution No. 076783, which authorized an agreement with Cal Microturbine, Inc. to service, repair, and rebuild the microturbines at YSC with a term of June 1, 2019 through May 31, 2024. Cal Microturbine, Inc. is the sole service provider on the West Coast to work on Capstone Turbine Corporation microturbines.
In 2021, one of the microturbines required a rebuild, exhausting most of the current agreement’s not-to-exceed amount.
DISCUSSION:
Amendment No. One to the Agreement allows Cal Microturbine, Inc. to continue providing maintenance support, perform testing required by Bay Area Air Quality Management District, and allow for future turbine rebuilds resulting from the high usage hours on these microturbines. The Amendment increases the Agreement amount by $458,390 for a new not to exceed amount of $800,000 with no change in the term.
The County Attorney has reviewed and approved the resolution and amendment as to form.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Funding has been allocated in the FY 2022-23 Adopted Budget.
There is no impact on the General Fund.
