(B) REPAIR OF FIRE/EMS LADDER TRUCK

It is requested that Council approve payment to Four Star Freightliner, Inc.,

(Dothan, AL) in the amount of $18,237.99 for the repair of a Fire/EMS Ladder

Truck.

Ladder Truck Vehicle #3029, was in operation, when it began smoking and shut

down. This vehicle was inspected and it was determined that the engine needed

to be overhauled due to the oil pressure continually falling below the 5 PSI

safety threshold at operating temperatures. With the mileage, the estimated

value, and the need to have the truck returned to service as soon as possible,

the Fleet Maintenance Division proceeded to have the necessary repairs

performed.

The Cummings Engine must be repaired by Cummins Engine certified technicians.

Four Star Freightliner is the authorized dealer for the Southeast to perform

the repairs.

The funding is available in the FY18 Budget: General Fund ? Fire/EMS ?

Fire/EMS Operations ? Auto Parts and Supplies; 0101-410-2100-FOPR-6721.

It is requested that Council approve payment to University of Georgia/Carl

Vinson Institute of Georgia (Athens, GA) in the amount of $18,000.00 for

for the administration of the promotion assessment centers.

Funds are budgeted in the FY18 Budget: General Fund ? Sheriff ? Administration

(D) AIR CONDITIONER REPLACEMENT FOR DEPARTMENT OF INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY ? DATA

CENTER

It is requested that Council approve the purchase/installation of a replacement

air conditioner from 1st Mechanical (Alpharetta, GA), in the amount of

$49,850.00, for the Data Center in the Information Technology Department.

The air conditioner for the Data Center in Information Technology has failed

three times within the last two months. On several occasions, the Facilities

Maintenance Division has had the contracted HVAC maintenance vendor, 1st

Mechanical, to repair the unit. The unit is over 20 years old and at the time

of purchase it was a used unit. The Facilities Maintenance Division and the

contractor recommends replacement, because the unit is beyond repair and well

beyond its useful life.

The replacement of the unit is required because the Data Center houses the

servers that stores all the City?s data information. The data collected on the

servers is growing. Therefore, the temperature of the servers is increasing as

well. If the temperature reaches a critical point, the server components will

not be able to work properly. In worst-case scenario, extreme temperature will

burn the processor. Currently, two backup portable AC units are being used in

the Data Center.



The replacement unit will be purchased from 1st Mechanical since the vendor is

currently under contract to maintain all the City?s HVAC units.



Funds are available in the FY18 Budget: General Fund ? Information Technology

? Capital Expenditures/Over $5,000; 0101 ? 210 ? 1000 ? ISS ? 7761.

Emergency Purchase ? Information Only

REPLACEMENT OF HOT WATER SYSTEM AT MUSCOGEE COUNTY JAIL:



On June 4, 2018 the Sheriff?s Department requested an emergency purchase for

the replacement of the Hot Water System at the Muscogee County Jail.

Several months ago the Sheriff?s Department dealt with the tankless hot water

system at the Jail which would not reach mandatory temperatures for washing

inmate laundry. Subsequently, the Department spent approximately $21,000.00 of

commissary funds to pay an outside vendor to wash laundry.



The Department was able to provide a temporary fix, but not a permanent

solution to the problem. The Sheriff?s Department had several vendors provide

information on this project and believe that Ace Plumbing will best address all

issues.



The City Manager approved the emergency purchase on June 4, 2018.



The funding is available in the FY18 Budget: General Fund ? Sheriff ?

Detention - Building Maintenance & Repair; 0101 ? 550 -2600 ? JAIL ? 6521.

On May 24, 2018 the Engineering Department requested approval for various

The Engineering Department informed the City Manager that due to existing

conditions with the flooding rains during the week of May 21st, and the

impending tropical system producing additional heavy rainfall, there was a need

to engage some contractors and rent pumps to begin pumping at least two

watershed structures that were approaching flood levels. The Engineering

Department and the Public Works Department would be involved in making

purchases related to this weather emergency.



The City Manager approved the emergency purchases on May 24, 2018.



The funding for the purchases is available in the FY18 Stormwater Fund budgets

of Public Works and Engineering.
