INTER -OFFICE MEMOAANDUM
TO The Honorable Mayor and Members DATE : � +� FILE
of th ity Commission.. ����
SUBJECT : Resolution Ratifying City
Manager's Action
FROM : Cesar H. Odio REFERENCES:
City Manager
ENCLOSURES:
It is respectfully recommended that a Resolution ratifying the
City Manager's emergency action authorizing the purchase of
U.P.S. batteries from Jantech Power Services, Inc., at a cost of
$39,200, be approved.
The police department utilizes Florida Power and Light to supply
electricity for its operation. In the event of a power failure,
generators are used on an emergency basis. A bank of batteries
provide the initial energy to start the generators. These
batteries must have the capability of carrying a full load for
one hour.
During Hurricane Andrew the police department lost power. At
that time the department was supposed to be powered by
generators. The old bank of batteries failed after two seconds
of a full load. It was necessary to start the generators
manually. The City Manager then made a finding of emergency and
the police department purchased the new batteries.
It is, therefore, recommended that the Resolution ratifying the
City Manager's emergency action and authorizing the purchase of
U.P.S. batteries, at a cost of $39,200, be approved. Funding
will be from the E-911 Fund, Project No. 506001, Index Code,
420604-850.

ENCLOSURES:
Your approval to purchase U.P.S. (Uninterrupted Power Supply)
batteries, on an emergency basis, at a cost of $39,200, is
requested.
The police department utilizes Florida Power and Light to supply
electricity for its operation. In the event of a power failure,
generators are used on an emergency basis. A bank of batteries
provide the initial energy to start the generators. These
batteries must have the capability of carrying a full load for
one hour.
During Hurricane Andrew the police department lost power. The old
bank of batteries failed after two seconds of a full load,
without starting the generators. At that time, it became
necessary to start the generators manually. This resulted in an
unacceptable period in which the police department was left
without communications.
Legislation ratifying your action has been prepared and will be
presented at th first available commission meeting.

Bid 91-92-097R is for the replacement of the UPS batteries at the
Police building. A total of nine people attended the mandatory
site visit. Two bids were received in the amounts of:
R. B. Grove Inc. $48,322.00
Jantech Power Systems $38,900.00
Both vendors appear to comply with the bid specifications. Both
vendors are non -minority companies. R. B. Grove Inc. appears to
be eligible for local preference consideration. However, even
with this 10% difference their bid would not become the lowest.
R. B. Grove Inc. was not represented at the mandatory site visit.
I recommend that this bid be awarded to the low bidder., Jantech
Power Systems.
