FOR THE CITY OF AMES
WHEREAS, Electric Services' two high-pressure steam turbine electric generating units
within the Power Plant, referred to as Unit No. 7 and Unit No. 8, require regular professional
maintenance and repair. This consists of emergency service, as well as regularly planned repairs
and services during scheduled outages; and,

boilermakers, electricians/control techs, steam/pipe fitters, and millwrights, as the units operate
under environmental conditions with high heat and high pressure; and,
WHEREAS, on May 9, 2023, the City Council awarded a contract to Tri-City Electric
Company of Iowa, Davenport, Iowa, for the Electrical Maintenance Services Contract for the
Power Plant, which outlined an option that would allow the City to renew the contract for up to
four additional one-year terms. This is the first of four additional renewal contract periods and
includes a cost increase of 3%, as indicated in their bid document.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Ames, Iowa,
that the contract renewal with Tri-City Electric Company of Iowa, Davenport, Iowa, for the
