This procurement was reviewed for subcontracting opportunities in accordance with City Code Chapter 2-9C Minority Owned and Women Owned Business Enterprise Procurement Program. For the goods and services required for this procurement, there were no subcontracting opportunities; therefore, no subcontracting goals were established. Prior Council Action: Boards and Commission Action: MBE/WBE: The proposed amendments will increase authorization on contracts for chiller systems maintenance, repair, inspection, and installation services for various City departments. The need for the increase is due to un-forecasted maintenance and repairs across multiple City departments. City departments require consistent and reliable preventative maintenance and repair services for City facilities chiller systems. Chiller systems include air-cooled chillers, chilled water systems, pumps, and cooling towers that make up a part of the facility’s heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems. Services provided will include monthly or quarterly preventative maintenance, annual inspections, unscheduled repairs, and the installation of repair parts or replacement of like systems.
