BACKGROUND
Today’s action will approve Amendment 2 to Agreement No. 230377B with Peterson Power Systems, Inc. (Peterson Power) for generator maintenance and repair services. The amendment increases maximum compensation for non-routine services to address the need for additional services.
For current fiscal year 2025-26, maximum compensation for non-routine services will increase by $45,000 for a new total of $120,000 per fiscal year for the remainder of the contract term. These changes result in a maximum compensation increase from $155,721 to $200,721 for fiscal year 2025-26 and from $157,257 to $202,257 per fiscal year for optional automatic renewal fiscal years 2026-27 and 2027-28.
On January 13, 2026, the Board approved Amendment 1 to Agreement No. 230377B with Peterson Power. The amendment added routine generator services at the Sugarloaf communications site and removed the generator previously located at 2030 Airport Road from the scope of work. The amendment also increased maximum compensation for non-routine services to address the need for additional services. Maximum compensation increased to $155,721 for current fiscal year 2025-26 and to $157,257 per fiscal year for optional automatic renewal fiscal years 2026-27 and 2027-28.
On May 2, 2024 the Board approved professional services agreement No. 230377B with Peterson Power effective July 1, 2023, with a maximum compensation amount of $81,762 for routine services and $50,000 for non-routine services for a total of $131,762 per fiscal year in fiscal years 2023-24, 2024-25, and 2025-26, with the option for automatic renewal for fiscal years 2026-27 and 2027-28 with a maximum compensation amount of $83,302 for routine services and $50,000 for non-routine services for a total of $133,302 per fiscal year.
County staff issued a Request for Proposal (RFP) on January 13, 2023, for contracted generator services. Peterson Power distinguished themselves as the most qualified of the three companies who submitted proposals and was selected by the panel to provide Napa County with generator maintenance and repair services. Peterson Power Systems, Inc. is not a local vendor.
Requested Action:
