Uninterruptable Power Supply System
Task Order No. 1
Task Order No. 1 - Design Development
During the Design Development Phase Engineer shall investigate needs for UPS
capability for the existing telephone and police radio communications systems
as well as the data processing department in this regard.
The City will prepare a tabulation by the respective communications and/or
data processing departments of the items of equipment which are to be served
by the UPS system. Attached to this letter is a form which can be used to
facilitate gathering and consolidation of this information.
On this form the Engineer has identified the name of equipment, such as disk
drive, radio transmitter, etc., the manufacturer, model number, and electrical
characteristics. If there is a contact at the manufacturer or vendor who
supplied this equipment who may be knowledgeable on the characteristics of the
equipment or if there is operation, installation, or maintenance information
available on the equipment which indicates its characteristics and the
required type of power supply for the equipment, it would be helpful to gather
and consolidate this information for review and inclusion in the initial
design of the system.
The electrical characteristics of the equipment may not be readily apparent
and may require review of nameplate information and/or contact with the
manufacturer to determine the information required. However, many items of
equipment will have the voltage, phase, and current or a portion of this
information and the kVA rating or kW rating associated with the equipment
item.
When this information has been obtained, the Engineer will supplement it to
whatever extent is necessary by contacting manufacturers and/or suppliers to
determine the characteristics of the equipment and the type of UPS best suited
for serving equipment. This will assist in identifying the alternate choices
available to the City for UPS equipment to serve these systems.
When the City has had an opportunity to review this form, the Engineer will
meet with the individuals involved in each department and/or system so that
the Engineer may assist in organizing and gathering information.
The City is expected to furnish the Engineer with full information as to the
City's requirements including any special or extraordinary considerations for
the Project or special services needed, and also to make available all
pertinent existing data.
It is necessary that the City advise the Engineer in writing at an early date
if the City has budgetary limitations for Total Project Costs or Construction
Cost. The Engineer must accept any such limitation as being realistic and
will then endeavor to work within those limitations. If the City requests,
the Engineer will submit to the City periodically during the design phase of
the Engineer's services the Engineer's opinions as to the probability of
Page 7
AGREEMENT
City of Yakima & Patrick L. Conley, P.E.
Uninterruptable Power Supply System
completing construction within the City's budget and, where appropriate,
request an adjustment in the budget or a revision in the extent or quality of
the Project. The Engineer does not guarantee that the Engineer's opinions
will not differ materially from negotiated prices or bids. If the City wishes
greater assurance as to probable Construction Cost or if the City wishes
formal estimates, an independent cost estimator should be employed.
When the needs of each system have been identified, both with regard to
capacity and suitability for operation from different types of uninterruptable
power supply, we will make a recommendation for installation of one or several
UPS systems. If the needs of the different areas are similar and can all be
well served from a single, economical UPS system, this will simplify the
design development process. However, if the needs differ among the three
users of the UPS supply power, it will then be necessary to evaluate and
identify the alternate possible schemes which could include the following:
1. A single UPS with separate conditioning to supply the needs of
each system.
2. Individual UPS for each system served from a common power
distribution system.
3. A combination of the above items with the computer and
communication systems separated or with the computer and one
communication system grouped and the remaining communications
served separately.
The design development phase would conclude with a written report or
memorandum of understanding which reflected the decisions made by the
appropriate City of Yakima personnel for each system which is involved in the
UPS project.

Task Order No.2. BALANCE OF WORK
During the Preparation of Construction Documents Phase Engineer shall prepare
documents for the purchase and installation of the UPS equipment. These
documents would include specification of the desired materials and
installation. The technical content of the specifications would be provided
to the City for issuing to bid to interested contractors/suppliers. The
contract documents would either by City standard documents or NSPE/AIA
standard contract documents. Where City requirements are different from those
of the industry standard NSPE or AIA formats, we anticipate the City would
provide the required "boiler plate".
The Bidding and Bid Analysis Phase shall take place when the contract
documents have been reviewed and approved by the appropriate City of Yakima
personnel. At this time the City would advertise for bids and issue drawings
and contract documents to plan centers, proposed bidders, and interested
parties. During bidding stage Engineer would be available to answer
questions, clarify the documents if necessary, prepare addenda if required,
and advise the City should any questions regarding the scope or content of the
project arise. When bids have been received, Engineer will prepare a bid
tabulation sheet listing the bidders and the bid information provided. At the
conclusion of the bid tabulation process Engineer will make a recommendation
for award of contract.
The Construction Observation Phase shall begin after the City has awarded and
executed a contract and issued a notice to proceed to the contractor.
Construction observation would consist of periodic visits to the job site that
would coincide with milestones in the project schedule of the construction
contractor. A final observation visit performed in conjunction with the City
and the contractor would identify any items of work to be completed at the
conclusion of the project. The work to be completed would be identified and a
substantial completion check list issued. When work is complete and all
documents have been received by the City from the contractor, the project will
be terminated.

Memorandum
Date: May 4, 1990
To: Honorable Mayor & Members of the City Co
Dick Zais, City Manager
From: John Hanson, Director of Finance & Bu
Rick Pettyjohn, Information Systems
Subject Uninterruptable Power Supply (UPS)
Purpose - This Agenda Item includes an Engineering Services Agreement
with Patrick L. Conley, P.E. and a Resolution authorizing execution of the
Agreement. The Agreement provides for electrical engineering services to
assist the City in the acquisition and installation of an Uninterruptable Power
Supply (UPS) for the City's Public Safety Computer System.
Background - The original Public Safety System proposal adopted by the City
Council included funds for the lease/purchase of a UPS. A UPS consists of
engines, generators, batteries and power regulation equipment designed to
provide continuous operation and protection for critical electronic
equipment during electrical emergencies. The UPS approved by the City
Council was designated to support the central Prime computer systems and
the peripheral equipment necessary to" keep the Public Safety System
functional.
The need for a UPS has continued to increase since the original Pubic Safety
System proposal was adopted as the City has grown ever more dependent
upon its computers. The least serious result of a computer failure resulting
from power irregularities is loss of employee time performing functions that
cannot be completed without the computer A much more serious result
may be the loss of critical information and Public Safety dispatching
capabilities during an emergency Such a loss could jeopardize the safety of
both the Police Officers and the citizens of Yakima.
Acquisition Process - The acquisition process of the UPS has taken a
considerable length of time because of the research and decisions necessary
First, the equipment list designated for support by the UPS continued to
change and grow. Originally, only the central computer equipment was
considered for protection by the UPS. After further research, we realized that
other equipment is essential for Emergency Service functions during power
outages. This equipment includes the radio equipment, dispatch panel,
critical computer terminals, and the City Hall telephone switch. Each piece of
Page 1
equipment has it own specific electrical requirements.
Second, we had to determine the appropriate type of UPS to meet the critical
demands of the Public Safety functions of the City Three basic types of UPS
are available Each type has its advantages and disadvantages. Furthermore,
the level of protection varies from simple power fluctuation protection
through short term supplemental power to full power protection and supply
sufficient to carry the electronic equipment through extended power outages
Third, a UPS of the size required by the Public Safety System is a major piece
of equipment requiring a substantial investment and a sophisticated design,
acquisition, and installation process. Because of these three considerations,
we determined last year that the City required services of an Electrical
Engineer specializing in UPS systems. Accordingly, we have completed a
competitive Request for Proposal (RFP) process to contract for such
engineering services. The result of that process is the attached Agreement
with Patrick Conley
Agreement Structure - The Agreement divides the UPS acquisition project
into four tasks. Task 1 is Design -Development. In this task the engineer will
analyze the City's needs and design a UPS system configuration to satisfy
those needs. In Task 2, Construction Document, the Engineer will assist the
City in the development of bid specifications for the UPS system designed in
Task 1 During Task 3, Bidding, the Engineer will help the City evaluate the
bids and select the UPS contractor And finally, in Task 4, Construction
Observation, the Engineer will periodically visit the construction project to
assure compliance with the construction contract.
Agreement. Funding - Total estimated cost for all four Tasks is $10,000. This
amount was not specifically appropriated in the 1990 Information Systems
Budget. However, the contract can be funded from projected savings in the
Data Processing Service Unit.
Other Funding Considerations - At the present time, the Information Systems
Budget for 1990 contains an appropriation sufficient to lease/purchase a UPS
up to a value of $50,000. The original proposal for the Public Safety System
estimated the cost of a complete UPS capable of supplying electrical power
during an extended power outage at $100,000. At the time of that estimate,
the Yakima County Sheriff Department was planning to join the City in the
Public Safety System project. After the County decided to purchase their own
system, the UPS cost estimate was reduced to $50,000 We believed at the time
that amount would be sufficient to provide protection from power
irregularities plus allow for ten to fifteen minutes of emergency power.
After preliminary consultations with the electrical engineer, we believe the
$100,000 estimate for a complete UPS capable of supplying long-term
Page 2
•
•
•
•
•
•
supplemental power is still accurate; but, the $50,000 estimate is probably low
for a UPS with only ten to fifteen minute supplemental power capabilities.
To leave the City's options open in the future, the Request for Bids for the
UPS will require the vendors to respond with two levels of UPS. Level 1 will
be with only short term supplemental power capabilities. Level 2 will include
long term supplemental power After the bids are returned and the costs of
the various options are known, the City can decide which UPS configuration
is appropriate ,for the City's needs.
Staff Recommendations - The staff recommends that the City Council
approve the Resolution authorizing execution of a contract. with Patrick L.
Conley for Consulting Engineering Services.
