Summary: Presented by: Mr. Erick Hofstetter, Chief Operating Officer, Division of Operations
Request: It is requested that the DeKalb County Board of Education (“the Board) approve the use of the ITB 26-710 Districtwide On-Demand Electrical Contractor Services Contract between DeKalb County School District (“DCSD”) and Capital City Electrical Services, LLC, to provide electrical services district-wide for the Electrical System Renovations Project in an amount not to exceed $1,342,065. $1,339,065.
Why: This request is to approve the use of ITB 26-710 Districtwide On-Demand Electrical Contractor Services. Capital City Electrical Services LLC, an approved vendor, will provide district-wide electrical services for the Electrical System Renovations Project.
The current electrical systems in use at DCSD athletic stadiums and gymnasiums are outdated and unsafe. There is a critical need to repair and upgrade the existing electrical systems located at the athletic stadiums and school gymnasiums district wide to meet the current uniform building codes and DeKalb County School District (DCSD) design standards.
Approval of electrical services will address the critical need to make immediate repairs and upgrades.
Details: The Division of Operations is requesting approval to utilize DCSD contract ITB 26-710 (Districtwide On-Demand Electrical Services) contractor Capital City Electrical Services, LLC., for the Electrical Systems Renovations Project district wide.
The District’s athletic stadiums were constructed in the 1950s and 1960s. Most still have the original electrical systems. These outdated systems cannot support the current electrical power demand and lack compatibility with new and advanced technology and equipment. The current technology often overloads outdated electrical systems, creating serious safety hazards and lower efficiency.
There have been minimal updates to the current systems. The athletics facilities are valuable assets to the physical education and recreational curriculum of the DeKalb County School District. For the past three years, William “Buck” Godfrey Stadium has hosted the Geogia High School Athletics (GHSA) Regional Track and Field Meet, placing a statewide lens on the DCSD facility.
Due to the immediate need to make the repairs, utilizing an approved contractor on the previously approved ITB 26-710(On-Demand Electrical Services) will expedite completing the project.
Financial impact: The total budget for this project is allocated from the cost code (100.2600.571500.00011.7520.9990.8013.040.0000 Land Improvement) under the Division of Operations General Fund Budget in the not to exceed amount of $1,342,065. $1,339,065.
