Explanation
BACKGROUND: This legislation authorizes the Finance and Management Director to modify a contract on behalf of the Facilities Management Division with Mid Ohio Air Conditioning for preventive maintenance and service for various chillers and boilers under the purview of the Facilities Management Division.
The original contract was authorized by Ordinance No. 0792-2013, passed on April 17, 2013 for preventive maintenance and service for various chillers and boilers under the purview of the Facilities Management Division. A modification of the contract is necessary to renovate two variable frequency drives at the Columbus Police Academy, 1000 N. Hague Avenue. A variable frequency drive is a precision electronic device specifically designed and used to control the speed of motors. The variable frequency drives at the Police Academy are in a state of disrepair and is beyond its useful life. It is also necessary to conduct boiler work at the Jerry Hammond Center, 1111 East Broad Street. The mounting plate for the boiler burner assembly and ignition controls is cracked and is in need of repair. This will require the components be disassembled, a custom mounting plate will be manufactured and all components will be reassembled and tested.
Mid Ohio Air Conditioning was chosen to perform the work because it is the Facilities Management Division's contractor for preventive maintenance and service for various chillers and boilers under the purview of the Facilities Management. Therefore it would not be in the best interest of the City to select another vendor to complete this work. Prices already established in the contract were used to determine the cost of this modification.
Emergency action is requested to ensure the needed renovations can be completed as quickly as possible.
