TITLE: Approval of On -Call Repair Services Agreement with Littlejohn - Reuland Corporation
for Electric Motor Repair Services
ABSTRACT:
The Municipal Operations Department utilizes a contractor for as- needed repairs for its large electric
motors that power City pump stations, well sites, and sewer lift stations.
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve the three -year agreement with Littlejohn-Reu land Corporation for As- Needed Electric Motor
Repair Services for a not -to- exceed amount of $90,000, and authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute
the agreement.
FUNDING REQUIREMENTS:
The current adopted budget includes sufficient funding for this contract. It will be expensed to the Well and
Pump Station Maintenance account in the Municipal Operations Department, 5500 -8156.
DISCUSSION:
The Municipal Operations Department occasionally requires repair services for its large electric motors that
power City pump stations, well sites, and sewer lift stations. Due to the critical nature of the services, the
City maintains a contractor on an as- needed basis so in the event of an emergency there is no delay in
repairs.
On April 30, 2014, the Municipal Operations Department posted a Request for Proposals for As- Needed
Electric Motor Repair Services. The RFP closed on May 16, 2014; two proposals were received. A review
panel evaluated the two firms on qualifications and experience, demonstrated understanding of the project,
and proposed project costs. Following this process, the review panel ranked Littlejohn- Reuland Corporation
as the highest rated proposal.

limited by statute, rule or regulation and the expressed terms of this Agreement. No
civil service status or other right of employment shall accrue to Contractor or its
employees. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to constitute approval for
Contractor or any of Contractor's employees or agents, to be the agents or employees
of City. Contractor shall have the responsibility for and control over the means of
performing the Work, provided that Contractor is in compliance with the terms of this
Agreement. Anything in this Agreement that may appear to give City the right to direct
Contractor as to the details of the performance of the Work or to exercise a measure of
control over Contractor shall mean only that Contractor shall follow the desires of City
with respect to the results of the Services.

twenty -five percent (25 %) or more of the assets of the corporation, partnership or joint -
venture.

The subcontractors authorized by City, if any, to perform Work on this Project are
identified in Exhibit A and the Letter Proposal. Contractor shall be fully responsible to
City for all acts and omissions of any subcontractor. Nothing in this Agreement shall
create any contractual relationship between City and any subcontractor nor shall it
create any obligation on the part of City to pay or to see to the payment of any monies

or limits contained in this Section are not intended as a limitation on
coverage, limits or other requirements, or a waiver of any coverage
normally provided by any insurance. Specific reference to a given
coverage feature is for purposes of clarification only as it pertains to a
given issue and is not intended by any party or insured to be all inclusive,
or to the exclusion of other coverage, or a waiver of any type.
F. Self- insured Retentions. Any self- insured retentions must be declared to

approved by City.
G. City Remedies for Non - Compliance If Contractor or any sub -
consultant fails to provide and maintain insurance as required herein, then
City shall have the right but not the obligation, to purchase such
