DESCRIPTION/BACKGROUND:
On July 31, 2024, the County Administrator approved the piggyback of Pasco County’s contract with Nation Metering Services, Inc. in the amount of $45,000. Marion County Utilities (MCU) initially requested this amount based on the anticipated needs for the fiscal year, and a purchase order was opened in the amount of $18,000.
On April 2, 2025, Change Order 1 was executed to increase the purchase order by $27,000, bringing the total purchase order amount to the full $45,000 as originally approved.
Change Order 2 is now being submitted to increase the purchase order by an additional $55,000 to support anticipated expenditures through the end of the fiscal year. This Change Order will bring the revised total purchase order amount to $100,000.
MCU and the Procurement Services team are currently working to identify a new contract with longer terms that can be used for future piggybacking opportunities.
A copy of the proposed Change Order is attached for review. Upon approval, the Change Order will be submitted to the Clerk and Chairman for signatures.
