Explanation

Background: This legislation authorizes the Finance and Management Director to enter into contract with General Temperature Control, Inc. for the Facilities Management Division to replace a rooftop air conditioning unit at Fire Station #1, 300 North Fourth Street. The previous unit was 23 years old and had a damaged compressor that was beyond repair. It provided air conditioning to the arson office and laboratory, which have no operable windows.

On August 10, 2006 a Mayor's Emergency was declared. It was determined it was immediately necessary to replace the rooftop air conditioning unit due to the obvious danger to the persons working in these areas, where chemicals are stored. Two proposals were solicited, from General Temperature Control, Inc. (FBE) and Axiom Mechanical Services. General Temperature Control provided the lowest price at $8,675.00. Axiom Mechanical Services bid at $13,425.00.

Emergency action is requested in order to reimburse General Temperature Control, Inc. for costs incurred for the replacement of the rooftop air conditioning unit at Fire Station #1, 300 North Fourth Street.

Fiscal Impact: Funds are available within the Safety Voted Bond Fund. With the addition of $1,000.00 contingency, the total amount of the contract is not to exceed $9,675.00. To fund this project, it is necessary to transfer $8,659.99 from the Fire Station #35 Waggonner Road Project. The additional $1,015.01 of budget authority comes from an encumbrance cancellation. General Temperature Control, Inc. Contract Compliance Number 31-1201236, expiration 06/20/2007.
