Explanation
BACKGROUND: This legislation authorizes the Finance and Management Director to modify a contract on behalf of the Office of Construction Management with Dynalectric Ohio for the emergency generator replacement for the Jerry Hammond Center, at 1111 East Broad Street.
Ordinance No. 1328-2012, passed July 11, 2012, authorized the replacement of the existing generator, which provides emergency power for the life safety systems of the Facility. A modification of the contract is necessary so that a larger above ground fuel tank can be installed. During an outage this larger fuel tank will allow the generator to run for longer durations between required fueling.
Emergency action is requested to allow the purchase and installation of the fuel tank as quickly as possible. When the generator needs to operate the intervals between fueling can be significant factor in building safety and functionality. Installation of a larger tank essentially means the generator could run for approximately 24 hours which is likely to adequately cover most emergency situations.
Dynalectric Ohio Contract Compliance No. 31-1615931, expiration date June 24, 2015.
FISCAL IMPACT: The cost of this contract is $6,895.12. Sufficient funding is available in the Construction Management Capital Improvement Fund.
