RE: Award Bid to CR Fochs LLC for Installation of Emergency Generator for the Oshkosh
Convention Center ($56,740.00)
BACKGROUND
The Common Council allocated $85,000 in the 2018 CIP Program to replace the 30+ year old emergency
generator at the Convention Center. To date this project has incurred a total of $63,141.81 for the
following preliminary work/items: cooperative purchase of the new generator (JFTCO Inc.- $40,411.81),
architect/engineering fees (TR Karrels & Associates, SC- $15,900) and feeder panel upgrade (CR Fochs,
LLC- $6,830). This memo addresses the remaining work of this project which is to accept bids for an
electrical contractor to install the generator this fall.
ANALYSIS
Working in conjunction with TR Karrels and Facilities Maintenance personnel, Purchasing reviewed and
prepared bid specifications for the final installation of the generator. This bid includes installing the
generator onto the Convention Center roof, making all final electrical connectionsanddecommissioning
the former unit. Bids were due July 16, 2020. The bid tab is attached. After reviewing the bids it is the
consensus of TR Karrels and staff that the low bid from CR Fochs LLC met the minimum bid
specifications.
FISCAL IMPACT
The fiscal impact of this bid for the installation of the generator is $56,740.00. Combining the costs of
work done to date ($63,141.81) with this final installation bid ($56,740.00), the total fiscal impact for this
project is $119,881.81. This project was allocated $85,000.00 in the 2018 CIP, resulting in this project being
approximately $35,000 over budget. The project budget overage is attributed to updates in
electrical/building code requirements and increases in labor, equipment and materials costs. Finance has
indicated there are sufficient funds in 2020 contingency funds to address this overage. This award will
be charged to A/N#: 0322 1040 7204 05802 (Machinery and Equipment- Oshkosh Convention Center
Emergency).
RECOMMENDATION
TR Karrels and City staff recommend the bid for this project be awarded to CR Fochs, LLC for $56,740.00.
