Summary:
On March 23, 2015, Council approved a contract award to Gemco Electric, Inc. for Electrical Services. The estimated annual expenditure at the time was $341,250.00. The initial contract term is three (3) years with an option to renew for two (2) additional one (1) year terms.
In support of the current Green Works Orlando project, Facilities Management Division is now requesting to increase the estimated annual expenditure to $1,258,250.00. Through the Green Works Orlando project, the City is undergoing a $17.5 million bond project to invest in energy efficiency of 55 public buildings. The project will help the City become one of the most environmentally friendly cities in the nation, add significant value to the City's aging infrastructure and provide building occupants with increased comfort and safety. The savings from this initiative will approach $2.4 million annually and help pay down the debt on the new Orlando Police Headquarters building.
To achieve expedient deployment of energy-efficient renovations, approval is requested to increase the annual estimated amount of the Electrical Services contract by $937,000.00, for a total estimated annual expenditure of $1,258,250.00. The majority of the electrical renovation scope is included in the Electrical Services contract and utilizing the existing contract for this project allows the City to maximize the return on investment.
