Explanation
Background: This legislation authorizes the Finance and Management Director to enter into contract with General Temperature Control, Inc. for the Office of Construction Management to replace a boiler at 640 West Nationwide Boulevard. The current unit is in disrepair and was originally bid out through the City's Vendor Services webpage for renovations. Upon dissembling the boiler, it was discovered that the state of disrepair was more grave than realized and that a full replacement was necessary. This full replacement was bid through the Vendor Services webpage, and three bids were received: General Temperature Control, Inc. (FBE) $18,865.00, Axiom Mechanical Services $19,622.49, and Mid Ohio Air Conditioning Corp. $21,250.00.
On November 9, 2006 a Mayor's Emergency was declared. It was determined it was immediately necessary to contract for replacement of the boiler. 640 West Nationwide Boulevard includes the offices of many Facilities Management Division employees. These offices are currently without heat. General Temperature Control, Inc. was selected due to its low bid.
Emergency action is requested in order to reimburse General Temperature Control, Inc. for costs incurred for the replacement of a boiler at 640 West Nationwide Boulevard.
Fiscal Impact: An amount of $1,000,000.00 is budgeted in the 2006 Capital Improvements Budget for unexpected capital improvements. The total amount of this contract is $21,865.00. This includes a base bid of $18,865.00 and a contingency of $3,000.00. General Temperature Control, Inc., Contract Compliance Number 31-1201236, expiration date 06/19/2008.
