Description/Analysis

IssueDetail

Issue Detail: The City’s Memorial Garage, located at 805 14th Street, was built in 2001.  It is a 10-level garage with four pedestrian elevators, two located on the west side and two located on the east side of the garage.

 

Located across the street from the Music Circus and a couple blocks from the Memorial Auditorium and SAFE Credit Union Convention Center, Memorial Garage has served as an important source of convenient parking supporting events at those venues. Neighboring residential developments also use it to provide safe parking for their tenants. Reliable elevators are essential for the garage's operation, especially when events end. Customers depend on them to access their vehicles, and even one elevator out of service can significantly increase crowd sizes waiting to access the elevators.

 

General industry recommendations are to modernize elevators after 20-25 years. At over 24 years old, the elevators at Memorial Garage are starting to breakdown at an increasingly frequent rate, plus their internal appearance has decayed and become unappealing. In addition, many of the parts used to repair the elevators are now obsolete, making them expensive, difficult to obtain, or no longer supported as newer technology is available.

 

All four elevators will be modernized but this will be completed in two phases. To minimize impact and expedite the project, staff plan to start by upgrading the two west elevators one at a time, which will leave three elevators available during the project. Staff anticipate that this project will be completed in summer of 2027.

PolicyConsiderations

Policy Considerations: The recommendations in this report are consistent with City Code Section 3.56.090, which states that all contracts involving an expenditure of $250,000 or more require approval by City Council.

End

 

EconomicImpacts

Economic Impacts: The recommended contract is expected to create 7.40 jobs (4.70 direct jobs and 2.70 jobs through indirect and induced activities) and create $975,545 in total economic output ($625,350 of direct output and another $350,195 of output in indirect and induced activities).

 

The indicated economic impacts are estimates calculated using a calculation tool developed by the Center for Strategic Economic Research (CSER). CSER utilized the IMPLAN input-output model (2009 coefficients) to quantify the economic impacts of a hypothetical $1 million of spending in various construction categories within the City of Sacramento in an average one-year period. Actual impacts could differ significantly from the estimates and neither the City of Sacramento nor CSER shall be held responsible for consequences resulting from such differences.

EnvironmentalConsiderations

Environmental Considerations: No environmental review is necessary because the recommendation in this report involves the repair of an existing structure with no expansion beyond the previously existing level of use and is therefore considered to be an exempt project or activity in accordance with Section 15301 of the CEQA Guidelines.

RationaleforRecommendation

Rationale for Recommendation: Kone, Inc. currently provides elevator/escalator maintenance and repair services for the City of Sacramento through their Omnia Partners Cooperative Contract No. EV2516.

 

After reviewing the available contract options, the Facilities and Real Property Management Division has determined that using the cooperative purchase agreement will result in a cost-effective way to deliver the elevator modernization of west elevators 1 and 2 at the Memorial Garage. The cooperative contract executed by Omni Partners was competitively bid and allows the City to receives greater discounts due to a higher contract volume than the City would receive if issuing its own bid. Staff recommend the approval of the contract.

 

In an ongoing effort to maximize cost savings and staff resources, many government agencies share contracting efforts through cooperative purchasing. This procurement approach increases pricing competitiveness and lowers operating costs through volume buying. When comparing the administrative costs of procurement, staff consider product research, source selection, specifications, advertising, staff reports, awarding, protest, and administration of the contract. It is often more cost-effective to eliminate the cost and time spent on these administrative processes and award contracts through a cooperative purchasing program.

 

The City has used both regional and national cooperative purchase agreements to complement its own contracting initiatives. Cooperative purchasing enables City departments to evaluate a broader range of contracting opportunities and to share resources with other jurisdictions. Cooperative purchasing also leverages internal and external resources to maximize cost savings opportunities for the City.

FinancialConsiderations

Financial Considerations: The estimated total project cost to fully modernize the two elevators at memorial garage is $1,199,000. This includes $999,000 for the Kone Inc. contract work and an additional $200,000 for related building upgrades that are not included in the Kone, Inc. contract.

 

 

With the transfer of $600,000 from the Mechanical/Electrical Equipment Repair program (V15420000, Fund 6004) to the Elevator Renovation and Modernization Program (V15410000, Fund 6004) there will be sufficient funding to complete the Memorial Garage Elevator Modernization Car 1 & 2 project.
