Board reviews amendment to city plumbing contract that would raise cap to $25 million and extend term

At the July 15 meeting the Board of Public Service presented Amendment No. 1 to the Facilities Management Division’s plumbing services contract (Contract No. 80081) with Dressel Plumbing Services LLC, doing business as Torrey C Plumbing Services.

The amendment would extend the contract termination date to Aug. 31, 2025, and increase the maximum not-to-exceed amount from $20,000,000 to $25,000,000. The board packet states Exhibit A will supersede and replace the existing exhibit effective Sept. 1, 2025, to include a 3% increase in rates or compensation outlined in that exhibit.

The item was presented as a recommendation for approval. The transcript records the item being introduced under regular business; no separate roll-call award vote for this specific contract amendment is recorded in the meeting excerpt. The minutes indicate the meeting proceeded to other agenda items and later approved the meeting minutes and the overall agenda. Procurement and contract staff customarily follow up with documentation and formal approval processes as required by city contracting rules.

Why it matters: Raising the not-to-exceed cap and extending the term of a citywide plumbing services contract affects the city’s facilities maintenance spending authority and the vendor’s ability to continue work on plumbing services for multiple city facilities.

Next steps: If the board or contracting authorities move to finalize the amendment, staff will implement the revised Exhibit A and adjust contract administration to reflect the new cap and term. The transcript does not include a recorded final vote specifically awarding or executing the amendment during the July 15 session.
