Explanation

BACKGROUND: This ordinance amends the 2010 Capital Improvements Budget and authorizes the transfer of $155,400.00 between projects within the Safety Voted Bond Fund. This ordinance also authorizes the Finance and Management Director to enter into a contract on behalf of the Office of Construction Management with Farber Corporation for the replacement of HVAC equipment at the Rhodes State Office building communication site, 30 East Broad Street. The Support Services Division has a communication tower atop the Rhodes State Office building to support 800 Mhz radio communications for Public Safety Divisions. The HVAC equipment keeps the hardware at a temperate condition during periods of extreme weather. This ordinance authorizes the replacement of the failing computer room air conditioning equipment. The work will include the demolition of the old equipment and installation of the new equipment.

Formal bids were solicited and six companies submitted bids on May 11, 2010 as follows (0 MBE, 0 FBE):

Farber Corporation $155,400.00
Kirk Williams Company $170,000.00
Fox Mechanical $178,000.00
Taylor Made Mechanical $181,000.00
Air Force One, Inc. $185,700.00
TP Mechanical $198,000.00

The Office of Construction Management recommends the bid be awarded to the most responsive and responsible bidder, Farber Construction.

Emergency action is requested so that this needed work may be completed as soon as possible to replace failing HVAC equipment, in order to meet the operational needs of the Division of Support Services.

Fiscal Impact: This ordinance authorizes an expenditure of $155,400.00 from existing cash in the Safety Voted Bond Fund. It also transfers $155,400.00 between projects in the Safety Voted Bond Fund.

Farber Corporation Contract Compliance No. 31-0746886; expiration date June 10, 2012.
