Emergency Purchase ? Information Only



Emergency Purchase of 600 Gallon Water Heater for Muscogee County Jail:



On May 2, 2012, the Public Services Director requested the emergency purchase

of a 600 gallon water heater for the Jail.



Currently, the jail has only one hot water heater serving the kitchen and

tower. This includes kitchens, bathrooms, showers, etc. for the inmate

population. Should the water heater go down, the area would be without hot

water for four to six weeks until a new one can be fabricated.



The same type of tank, that currently exists, must be purchased so that

re-plumbing and/or refitting will not be required. Facilities Maintenance has

checked prices for alternate tanks and the savings would not be significant

enough to offset the re-plumbing costs. The water heater that is needed is an

A.O. Smith model BTP 600A00N12500. The local sole source vendor for A.O. Smith

is Ferguson, located at 1414 54th St. Expected delivery is 4 to 6 weeks from

time of order. The cost of the water heater is $37,372.00. The City Manager

approved the emergency purchase on May 2, 2012.



Funds are budgeted in the FY12 Budget: General Fund ? Public Services ? Other

Maintenance/Repairs ? ?Building Maintenance ? Public Safety;

0101-260-3710-REPA-6528.
