Explanation
BACKGROUND: This ordinance amends the 2009 Capital Improvements Budget and authorizes the transfer of $4,011.50 between projects within the Safety Voted Bond Fund. This ordinance also authorizes the Finance and Management Director to modify a contract on behalf of the Facilities Management Division with Mid Ohio Air Conditioning Corporation for the installation of two (2) Veltron CFM controls at the Central Safety Building, 120 Marconi Boulevard. The controls measure airflow in the air handler, which in turn, communicates to the variable speed drive to save energy by allowing the volume of air moved to match the system demand. This equipment is running at 100% speed at the moment and should modulate within ranges below 100% once installed. This is replacing a similar control system that has failed.
The contract was formally bid (SA003169) for emergency service and repair of various building heating, ventilating and air conditioning systems under the purview of the Division of Facilities Management. The term of the contract is April 1, 2009 through March 31, 2010 with, four renewal options. The modification is necessitated because the original contract was established in the General Fund. This particular project is more suitably funded by the Safety Voted Bond Fund, thereby saving scarce General Fund dollars for future unexpected HVAC breakdowns.
Emergency action is requested to allow installation of the HVAC controls, resulting in energy and cost savings to the City.
FISCAL IMPACT: This ordinance authorizes an expenditure of $4,011.50 with Mid Ohio Air Conditioning Corporation from the Safety Voted Bond Fund.
Mid Ohio Air Conditioning Corporation, Contract Compliance #31-0732219 expiration date May 15, 2010.
