Explanation

The Division of Water, Dublin Road Water Plant needs a 60-ton chiller with cooling and heating coils. This item is needed as our current unit is repeatedly failing at a greater frequency as warmer weather approaches. This equipment controls the heating and cooling of the facility and computer control room. The Ohio EPA requires proper temperature control for the Operations laboratory, where testing of water quality occurs. The original unit was manufactured by Trane AMS, in which they have a current contract with the State of Ohio. This contract includes the equipment and labor needed by the City. Therefore, the Division of Water would like to enter into a contract, based on State of Ohio Contract 775632E, which expires March 31, 2005, for a 60-ton chiller with cooling and heating coils. The Contract Compliance Number for Trane AMS is 25-0900465. They do not have MBE/FBE status.

It is requested that this Ordinance be handled in an emergency manner, as the current chiller may break down, preventing us from complying with EPA guidelines.

FISCAL IMPACT: Monies are available in the Dublin Road Miscellaneous Improvement Facilities project, which is included in the 2002 C.I.B.
