Included with that contract were the parts and labor to overhaul Methane Generator Engine No. 2 (MG-2) and the labor associated with replacing the heat exchanger; and, WHEREAS, On November 4, 2022, Interstate Power Systems notified City staff that they would no longer be able to fulfill all terms of the contract as staffing changes would no longer allow Interstate Power Systems to provide technicians with adequate expertise to complete the overhaul of MG-2 or replacement of the exhaust gas heat exchanger; and, WHEREAS, Interstate Power Systems had already ordered the necessary parts for the overhaul and has offered to provide them at cost to the City. This would benefit Interstate by removing the expensive parts from their inventory and would benefit the City by eliminating long lead times for delivery of the parts by a new contractor; and, WHEREAS, a Change Order is necessary to remove the labor from the original contract and to account for core charges on a water pump and remanufactured heads. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Ames, Iowa, that Change Order No. 1, deducting $58,933.95 from the contract with Interstate Power Systems of Altoona,Iowa, for the Methane Generator Engine No. 2 Maintenance,be approved and adopted as attached hereto and made a part hereof by this reference.
