Explanation
The purpose of this legislation is to authorize the Director of Public Utilities to execute a planned modification to an existing contract for HVAC and Air Purification Equipment Maintenance Services for the Division of Sewerage and Drainage, in order to continue scheduled services to the Division.
This is a division wide contract to provide for the monthly inspection, monitoring and maintenance of the HVAC and Air Purification Equipment Maintenance Services currently in use in the Division of Sewerage and Drainage. This contract provides for the necessary preventive and corrective maintenance, repair and all associated reporting related to the performance of the equipment.

Additionally, the Sewer Maintenance Operations Center and collection system pumping stations' HVAC equipment will be added to receive maintenance services on an as requested basis.
This contract was in effect for one (1) year to and including April 19, 2012.
