Title: Ratification of Emergency Cooling Tower Replacement at the Communications Building as requested by the Facilities Maintenance Department (Citywide) Facilities Maintenance recently determined the cooling towers in the Communications Building, which houses Public Safety 911 Dispatch, are not reliable. It was determined that by replacing one cooling tower as an emergency purchase, the building chiller will be operational and will mitigate the public safety risk. An additional rental unit will be used to provide redundancy until permanent repairs can be completed. The tower is currently being built and staff anticipates the tower replacement to be completed by May 9th. Facilities Maintenance and Purchasing recommend ratifying the emergency purchase of $38,708.73 to Daikin Applied Americas, Inc.
