Body
On April 8, 2020, the Purchasing Agent executed Agreement for Services No. 4714 with L&H Airco LLC for a three-year term and a not-to-exceed amount of $70,000. Services provided under this agreement include on-call and emergency automation and diagnostic, calibration services necessary to keep the County's Alerton IBEX and Alerton BACTalk heating, ventilating, and air conditioning systems, and associated equipment operational at various County locations.
Emergency on-call services have exceeded projections significantly (particularly issues related to the energy management system). To date, approximately $6,000 remains, and with the contract term through April 2023, additional compensation is needed so that services remain available. Amendment I would increase compensation by $75,000 for a revised not-to-exceed amount of $145,000. The Division does not anticipate utilizing all this additional $75,000 but needs that flexibility should problems arise.
