Item Number: H.3. CITY COUNCIL REPORT SUBJECT: First Amendment to Professional Services Agreement with A & Sons Electric, Inc. for Transformer Upgrade at the Parks and Recreation Center MEETING DATE: February 10, 2026 TO: Mayor and Council FROM: Randy Babchuk, Field Operations/Parks & Recreation Director REVIEWED: Reyes Medrano, Jr., City Manager PURPOSE: The Parks and Recreation Department is requesting approval of the First Amendment to the Professional Services Agreement with A & Sons Electric, Inc. to provide additional electrical services associated with a required transformer upgrade by SRP for the emergency generator at the Parks and Recreation Center. BACKGROUND: On July 14, 2025, the City entered into a Professional Services Agreement with A & Sons Electric, Inc. for generator wiring improvements at the Parks and Recreation Center. During the course of project coordination and review with Salt River Project (SRP), it was determined that the existing transformer infrastructure did not meet current requirements and must be upgraded in order to properly support the generator system. The transformer upgrade was not included in the original scope of work and is necessary to ensure compliance with SRP standards and to allow for safe and reliable operation of the emergency power system. DISCUSSION: The proposed First Amendment increases the total contract amount to allow for the purchase and installation of a new transformer and associated electrical, trenching, and concrete work. The additional scope includes demolition of the existing transformer pad, installation of a new pad and transformer, underground trenching and conduit installation, electrical changeover, grounding, inspections, and coordination with SRP and City inspectors. The additional cost for the transformer upgrade and related work is $86,500, increasing the total not-to-exceed contract amount from $250,000 to $350,000. All other terms and conditions of the original agreement remain unchanged. The amendment ensures the generator project can be completed as designed and placed into service in compliance with utility and safety requirements. Due to the upgrades in 2018 and the new Generator being installed, SRP is requiring a new Transformer to be put in on the southwest pole of the Parks and Recreation Center. BUDGET IMPACT: The contract increase of $100,000 will be funded through the approved project budget for the Parks and Recreation Center electrical and generator improvements. Sufficient funds are available to support this amendment. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the First Amendment to the Professional Services Agreement with A & Sons Electric, Inc., increasing the contract amount to a total not-to-exceed $350,000, and authorizing the City Manager to execute the Amendment.
