Explanation

BACKGROUND: This legislation authorizes the Finance and Management Director to enter into a contract on behalf of the Office of Construction Management with Farber Corporation for the renovation/replacement of the air conditioning chiller at the City of Columbus Police Academy, 1000 North Hague Avenue.

Farber Corporation $172,500.00
Mid Ohio Air Conditioning $192,882.00
Kirk Williams $199,620.00

The Office of Construction Management recommends the bid award be made to the responsive and best bidder, Farber Corporation.

Emergency action is requested to ensure the needed HVAC renovations can be completed as quickly as possible with the rapidly approaching warm weather.
