BACKGROUND
On March 6, 2021, the Chairperson of the Board signed an agreement with High Sierra Electronics, Inc. for an annual maximum of $60,000 to provide maintenance services in support of the ALERT stream and precipitation monitoring network.
Amendment No. 1 to Agreement No. 210380B (FC) with increases the maximum compensation of the District's contract by $20,000 for a new total of $80,000 and extends the term through June 30, 2026 with provision for an automatic annual renewal for four (4) years.
Routine and preventative maintenance of the ALERT monitoring network including inspection, repair of the 25 individual sites is necessary in order for continued monitoring of streamflow and precipitation during the winter flood season and to ensure public safety. High Sierra has effectively maintained the monitoring system with District staff support. Without additional capacity and extension of the terms of the Agreements, the ALERT system could be prone to failure.
Requested Action:
1. Approve and authorize Amendment No. 1 to Agreement No. 2210380B (FC) with High Sierra Electronics.
