Explanation
This legislation authorizes the Department of Public Utilities, Division of Sewerage and Drainage, to upgrade the heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning (HVAC) control system at the Fairwood Avenue Facility. The HVAC control system's purpose is to maintain good air quality through adequate ventilation with filtration and to provide thermal comfort. The existing HVAC control system has become obsolete requiring an upgrade of the current Invensys System with new architecture, software upgrades, and new control equipment. The manufacturer, Schneider Electric has stated that Innovative Energy Solutions (IES) is the only manufacturer authorized representative in Columbus that can perform this service. This ordinance is being submitted in accordance with the Sole Source provisions of Columbus City Code, 1959 Section 329.07(e).
Emergency Action is necessary so that the contract can be completed as soon as possible. Without this emergency designation, it is estimated that funding could not be established until mid December 2012. A recent failure of a VAV controller has made it imperative that repairs be completed as soon as possible.
