Explanation
BACKGROUND:
To authorize and direct the Director of Finance and Management, on behalf of the Division of Support Services, to establish a purchase order with Jet Electric dba R. Gordon Jones, Inc., to purchase a backup generator with installation located at 1250 Fairwood Avenue for the Police and Fire E911 and Dispatch Facility.

The generator currently in service is more than 35 years old and of questionable integrity. This length of service has caused the electrical and mechanical components to become degraded and unreliable. Reliable backup power is an absolute necessity for the 365 days/24 hours, operations of the Police and Fire Dispatch Facility.

The key systems protected by this generator include: the Police, Fire and EMS E911 System, the Public Safety radio system used by 120 Police Fire and EMS agencies in the metro area, including the Columbus Police and Fire Computer Aided Dispatch System, and the refrigeration units in the Police Property room that protect crucial case evidence. This equipment is essential in keeping the Division of Police compliant with the "Commission Accreditation Law Enforcement Agency, (CALEA).

Bid Information: The Purchasing Office advertised and solicited competitive bids in accordance with the Columbus City Code, Section 329.06(a) bid SA002106. One bid was received. It was from Jet Electric dba R Gordon Jones, Inc

Contract Compliance Inc: Jet Electric dba R. Gordon Jones, Inc. #31-1330692

Emergency Designation: Emergency designation is requested to ensure the continued reliability of the Police and Fire Communication Systems.

FISCAL IMPACT:
Funding for this expenditure is available in the Public Safety's Capital Improvement Fund.
